Here he lies before me,

My friend for many years,

Now I'm drowning in my tears,

Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel,
DmEmFG
There can be no greater love,

He was there to guide me through the follies of my age,
DmAmDmG
Always there beside me, everything forgave,
AmEFC
Held me as a father, showing me the way,
DmEmFG
There can be no greater love,

The fate of others was his only thought,

And though it was the way to certain darkness,

And these words are writ in stone, where he lies,
