For his brothers

[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] {END}
