I Remember Him That Way

There was a man
aged by years his hair was grey
calloused hands a weathered face
I remember him that way

He was a working man
lived his life day to day
loved his kids and he loved his wife
I remember him that way

the day he died oh how I cried
it was my saddess day
he was my mentor
my hero and my friend
and I took his solid teachings
and live them to this day
it's just my way to show respect
I remember him that way

In this modern world
the way things are today
I'm labeled as old school
I remember him that way

The day he died oh how I cried
it was my saddest day
he was my mentor
my hero and my friend
so I took his solid teachings
and live them to this day
it's just my way to show respect

to my granddaddy
because I remember him that way
