When he told me that I ought to come back home, I tried And when he told me that he was tired of being alone, I cried Now all these years have passed The music has always held my hand We'll ride the back up train forever With this saint-like man
He was the only one that I'd ever listen to He was the only one
Now when my life's in doubt There's always a reason to belong And when my wife was gone His music always made me strong If there's a heaven where good music goes I know it will be there We know he loves, we know he sings, we know he tries, He cares
