STRINGS OF LEGACY Lyrics

In the glow of Christmas lights, a chair now stands alone

Dad's guitar rests silently, its player has moved on

He picked up strings as a young boy, tunes from the radio

In the '80s, he taught us songs, his love for music showed

Oh, the melodies linger, though the player gone away

Two sons strum guitars he taught, one keeps the rhythm's sway

Hard work and western movies, his passions intertwined

Now he's met with Jesus, peace and joy combined

Days in the hospital, he never spoke of pain

A strength within, a silent grin, his spirit would not wane

Recording tracks with Misty Blue, I helped him chase his dreams

Those moments now are treasures, more precious than they seemed

Oh, the melodies linger, though the player gone away

Two sons strum guitars he taught, one keeps the rhythm's sway

Hard work and western movies, his passions intertwined

Now he's met with Jesus, peace and joy combined

Though tears may fall this season, as we face the holidays

We'll strum his favourite carols, in honour of his ways

His life a song of love and faith, a melody so sweet

Now he sings with angels, at his Saviour's feet

Oh, the melodies linger, though the player gone away

Two sons strum guitars he taught, one keeps the rhythm's sway

Hard work and western movies, his passions intertwined

Now he's met with Jesus, peace and joy combined

Dad, your song continues, in every note we play

Your love, your strength, your music, guide us every day

Until we meet in heaven, where harmonies align

We'll cherish all the memories, of a father so divine
