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
