I walked in the room and looked in your eyes
And I could tell right then, you didn't recognize
The man I've become, and it tore me up
But that's just what time sometimes does
Your memory's fading, it's breaking my heart
If you look in that mirror and wonder who you are
You're still our hero, you're still the man
A hell of a father and a damn good friend
You can fix any problem with a wrench or some words
The backbone of our family in the front of that church
You kept every promise for worse or for better, I'm writing you this
So when you forget, you can remember
We were turning them roles when you taught me to drive
You've been wearing that ring since July of '55
You kept food on that table, lights on in that house
So, don't ever question
No, don't ever doubt
You're still our hero, you're still the man
A hell of a father and a damn good friend
You can fix any problem with a wrench or some words
The backbone of our family in the front of that church
You kept every promise for worse or for better, I'm writing you this
So when you forget, you can remember
Remember
Your memory's fading, it's breaking my heart
If you look in that mirror and wonder who you are
You're still our hero, you're still the man
A hell of a father and a damn good friend
You can fix any problem with a wrench or some words
The backbone of our family in the front of that church
You kept every promise for worse or for better, I'm writing you this
So when you forget, you can remember
You can remember
