Lyrics

Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung

This old man
He worked for thirty years with
Two strong hands, in the factory light his
Lunch box held all his needs with
Coffee sandwiches and dreams
For me

This old man
He taught me many times
To undertand, that showing love is simply
Nothing you should have to hide
Don't keep your feelings locked inside
He said

When I was young
I dreamed a young man's dreams
I saw in your eyes
The things I'd never seen
But now I grow old
But I don't really mind
Cause can't you see with my family
We'll share these timeless memories
