Song For Paul

He let himself down time and again

But to me he was always a Prince of Men.

As long as he lived he was true as a man could be.

And if there's a Heaven perhaps he'll go.

I guess it's a little too soon to know.

But if Heaven's too good for him it's no place for me.

Now, we never reckoned that life was fair,

And he had a Hell of a cross to bear.

Yes, some of his friends and all of his plans went wrong.

He wouldn't have wanted for me to weep.

He said "A man's heart runs still and deep."

So, bury your sorrow here when you sing my song.

Too much of a man for a little part.

He took on the world and it broke his heart.

I guess that's the last of that kind we're gonna see.

One hell of a man coming straight at you.

Step back if you can, 'cause he's coming through.

Please, God, won't you call my brother to stand with Thee.

In Memoriam

Paul Chek
