Tommy

Morning breaks across the water, the lake is calm and still

I can see you with your tackle box, walking down the hill

Got your loyal dogs beside you, trailing at your feet

That was your kind of heaven, simple and complete

Every time I see a bobber dance upon the blue

I cast a quiet memory and spend some time with you

You taught us how to love everyone, to keep an open door

With a joke and a laughing fit that left us on the floor

We miss you, Uncle Tommy, it’s hard to let you go

But I love you more than you will ever know

I can still hear the giggles ringing out across the yard

Chasing around your nieces, playing was your favorite part

You never took this heavy world too seriously at all

You always had a punchline ready just to break the fall

A giant heart inside your chest, a smile upon your face

You left a light behind you that the shadows can't erase

You taught us how to love everyone, to keep an open door

With a joke and a laughing fit that left us on the floor

We miss you, Uncle Tommy, it’s hard to let you go

And I love you more than you will ever know

I know you're up there resting by a quiet, peaceful stream

Living out the beauty of a fisherman's dream

With a good dog by your side and a story left to tell

We'll carry on your legacy and treat each other well

'Cause you taught us how to love everyone, to keep an open door

With a joke and a laughing fit that left us on the floor

We miss you, Uncle Tommy, it’s hard to let you go

But I love you more than you will ever know

Yeah, I love you more than you will ever know
