Lyrics
[Intro]
[acoustic guitar]
[gentle melody]
[tempo marking: Moderato]
[Verse 1]
[soft piano]
In a small town of madison, lived a man named Bill,
A hunter, a fisherman, with a heart of steel,
[electric guitar]
He'd rise with the sun, cast his line in the stream,
With a bow in his hand, he lived his dream.
[Chorus]
[full band]
Bill, oh Bill, we remember you still,
With your laugh and your stories, and a heart so real,
[choir]
Happy Father's Day, though you're not here,
In our hearts and our minds, you’ll always be near.
[Verse 2]
[bassline]
He loved to bowl, with a perfect strike,
In the lanes of life, he found his light,
[steel guitar]
With bacon grease, he'd cook up a feast,
In the kitchen, he was a culinary beast.
[Bridge]
[gentle strings]
In the fields and the forests, he'd always roam,
With his bow by his side, he'd feel at home,
[spoken word]
Though he's gone now, his spirit's strong,
In the memories we hold, he lives on and on.
[Chorus]
[full band]
Bill, oh Bill, we remember you still,
With your laugh and your stories, and a heart so real,
[choir]
Happy Father's Day, though you're not here,
In our hearts and our minds, you’ll always be near.
[Interlude]
[fiddle solo]
[tempo marking: Andante]
[acoustic guitar]
[piano melody]
[Verse 3]
[choir]
In the tales we tell, around the firelight,
Bill's legacy shines, so warm and bright,
[steel guitar]
With every cast, every hunt, every strike,
We honor his life, in the day's last light.
[Final Chorus]
[full band]
Bill, oh Bill, we remember you still,
With your laugh and your stories, and a heart so real,
[choir]
Happy Father's Day, though you're not here,
In our hearts and our minds, you’ll always be near.
[Outro]
[acoustic guitar]
[fade out]
[tempo marking: Adagio]
In the golden fields, where the memories play,
We wish you love on this Father's Day,
[choir harmonies]
Bill, oh Bill, we’ll always sing your song,
In our hearts, your spirit lives on.
[fade to end]
