He was born in 22
and later served in world war 2
And after the war he married his wife
And with her he stayed for the rest of his life
He wanted kids but none could he have
Then came the day they arrived at last
No they were not his own
But he gave them a home
And although he may be gone
His memory lingers on
Yes we'll all miss the man that slipped through our hands
When he left this old world for the promised land
And I'm sure that our loss is heavens gain
He's in heaven with the angels and feelin' no more pain
Yes we'll all miss the man that slipped through our hands
When he left this old world for the promised land
And I'm sure that our loss is heavens gain
He's in heaven with the angels and feelin' no more pain
Yes he's in heaven with the angels and feelin' no more pain
