Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, Bernie Musch, we gather here today,
To tell your story, in every heartfelt way.
From Dewar, Iowa, you found your place,
In our hearts forever, a warm embrace.

[VERSE 1]
Born in thirty-two, on that summer day,
Little did we know, you’d light up our way.
In every card game, laughter filled the air,
At the Senior Center, friends would gather there.

[CHORUS]
Oh, Bernie, you were a shining light,
Selling dreams on wheels, you made futures bright.
With your family by the river, feeling so alive,
In every joyful moment, together we thrive.

[VERSE 2]
Waterloo’s own, with the keys in hand,
You built up your empire, a strong, honest man.
Each car had a story, a life yet to lead,
In the roads of our hearts, you planted a seed.

[CHORUS]
Oh, Bernie, you were a shining light,
Selling dreams on wheels, you made futures bright.
With your family by the river, feeling so alive,
In every joyful moment, together we thrive.

[BRIDGE]
Dance in the moonlight, sing your favorite song,
We’ll carry your spirit, where we all belong.
From grandchildren's laughter to memories we find,
You’ll never be forgotten, forever intertwined.

[VERSE 3]
Ninety-two summers, filled with love and cheer,
From the Mississippi’s banks, we hold you near.
With eleven grandkids, and greats by the score,
Your legacy lingers, in each open door.

[CHORUS]
Oh, Bernie, you were a shining light,
Selling dreams on wheels, you made futures bright.
With your family by the river, feeling so alive,
In every joyful moment, together we thrive.

[OUTRO]
So here’s to you, Bernie, we raise our glass high,
With love everlasting, we’ll always comply.
In the laughter and tears, your spirit will soar,
In every heart that knows you, you’ll live evermore.
