00:00He was an old man sitting on a bar stool
00:16Whiskey glass in hand and a beer as well
00:23With a face weathered deep and eyes like a jewel
00:29He had the wisdom of years and stories to tell
00:34With a shake of his head he'd recall the past
00:40Every laugh and tear those moments that last
00:47Heartbeats like thunder beneath that old skin
00:52He'd sip on his whiskey, let the memories in
00:58Oh, the tales he spun in the dim lights glow
01:09From love lost to awe
01:14Where the brave hearts go
01:20With each note of the fiddle he tapped to the beat
01:28His life was a song bittersweet
01:34He talked about summers in a little town fair
01:41How the children laughed loud, filled the warm summer air
01:47With a twinkle in his eye
01:51He'd wink and he'd smile
01:54Like a river running deep
01:57He'd carry the wild tales of true love
02:02Of a woman named Grace
02:05With a heart like a compass
02:09She lit up the place
02:12But time, oh time, it can slip right away
02:17Leaving memories behind
02:20Where the shadows play
02:24Oh, the tales he spun
02:31In the dim lights glow
02:34From love lost to awe
02:40Where the brave hearts go
02:46With each note of the fiddle
02:52He tapped to the beat
02:54His life was a song bittersweet
03:00And as the night lingered
03:04The bar crowd would cheer
03:06Each heartbeat echoing
03:10Like a song in the ear
03:12Fiddle strings where
03:15Harmonies dance free
03:18He'd sing of old times
03:21Just him and the melody
03:26He spoke of the stars
03:30And the dreams they would chase
03:33Of lessons learned slow
03:37Of life's tight embrace
03:40And as he sat back
03:43With a grin on his face
03:46He'd toast to the journey
03:49And fate's warm embrace
03:52With love in his heart
03:53And a story to bear
03:57He shared with us all
04:00Like the warmth in the air
04:03The whiskey might burn
04:06But the laughter ran deep
04:09In the glow of the evening
04:12His memories we'd keep
04:16All the tales he spun
04:23In the dim lights glow
04:25From love lost to awe
04:32Where the brave hearts go
04:37With each note of the fiddle
04:43He tapped to the beat
04:46His life was a song
04:49Bittersweet
04:52So here's to the moments
04:55That shape who we are
04:58To the old man on the bar stool
05:01Our guiding star
05:04With a whiskey and a smile
05:07As the night turns to day
05:10His stories will linger
05:13Never fade away
05:18He-he-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re
05:48Aum.
