In a sight I won’t forget

Lyrics

I never heard the words, but felt the weight. Of every sacrifice he ever made. A struggle at the time to comprehend. Dad during the week and coach on weekends. When showing up is really hard to do. He always found a way to come through. Like a sledgehammer crashing on to the rocks. Stacking them tall like building blocks. It wasn’t ever easy but nothing ever is. A casual lie to make you laugh. Only genuine smiles for a photograph. Making sure we had the things he never did. In a sight I won’t forget. With a full plate even when the times were lean. I’m sure life was harder than it seemed. Actions always spoke louder than screams. A dry humor that never bothered me. When showing up is really hard to do. He always found a way to come through. Like a sledgehammer crashing on to the rocks. Stacking them tall like building blocks. It wasn’t ever easy but nothing ever is. A casual lie to make you laugh. Only genuine smiles for a photograph. Making sure we had the things he never did. In a sight I won’t forget. There was no time you were ever unsure. All the signs had pointed towards secure. He left the north and headed south to reign. Pennsylvania native, New York Giants Yankees game! [SOLO] I saw a side of him, I had not known. Holding his new grand daughter alone. Coaching her on how to walk outside. Telling her war stories, he told me were classified. Mmm, hmm. Mmmm-hmm. (Mmm, hmm. Mmmm-hmm.) Mmm, hmm. Mmmm-hmm. (Mmm, hmm. Mmmm-hmm.)
