Duane

It’s hard to recall the days we were young

The past is a blur and the songs are unsung

We didn’t have much in the hand we were dealt

But we shared the same blood and the struggles we felt

I might not have stories of the old days to tell

But I know the man that you are mighty well

So stay strong, Duane, when the heavy winds blow

You’ve got a loving heart, and I want you to know

You’re a fighter, you’re loyal, you’re kind and you’re true

I’m proud to be sharing this lifetime with you

Whenever the shadows begin to fall

You’re in my prayers, brother, standing tall

A tough growing up can make a man cold

But you kept your kindness, a sight to behold

Through every battle and every closed door

You just kept swinging and pushing for more

You never let the hard times steal away

The love in your soul at the end of the day

So stay strong, Duane, when the heavy winds blow

You’ve got a loving heart, and I want you to know

You’re a fighter, you’re loyal, you’re kind and you’re true

I’m proud to be sharing this lifetime with you

Whenever the shadows begin to fall

You’re in my prayers, brother, standing tall

I might not say it as much as I should

But I’ll stand by your side like a brother would

You’re right in my heart, no matter the miles

I’m sending my love, hoping you smile

So stay strong, Duane, when the heavy winds blow

You’ve got a loving heart, and I want you to know

You’re a fighter, you’re loyal, you’re kind and you’re true

I’m proud to be sharing this lifetime with you

Whenever the shadows begin to fall

You’re in my prayers, brother, standing tall

Yeah, you're in my heart, brother, through it all
