Herb

Looking back to the days in the schoolyard

Walking the same streets in our neighborhood

Life was simple, we were just starting out

But I always knew that our connection was good

Time moves fast, and we took different roads

The seasons change and the years slip by

But the foundation we built back then

Is a faithful bond that time could never untie

Herb, you’ve got a rare kind of soul

Patient and steady, letting God take control

With your soft-spoken words and your calming light

I feel your spirit even out of my sight

We might not cross paths as much as we used to

But your presence is always felt, thank you for being you

I still think about that one special day

How you went out of your way for my birthday

You brought the joy, made the moment shine

A memory I keep in this heart of mine

It’s the quiet ways that you show you care

Without a single shout, I know you're there

You never need the center of the stage

Just a true friend, turning every page

Herb, you’ve got a rare kind of soul

Patient and steady, letting God take control

With your soft-spoken words and your calming light

I feel your spirit even out of my sight

We might not cross paths as much as we used to

But your presence is always felt, thank you for being you

A God-fearing man with a spirit so deep

You walk in the faith, and your promises keep

The miles might stand between where we are today

But a brother like you is never far away

I just want to pause and give you your flowers

For the grace you've shown through all of our hours

Herb, you’ve got a rare kind of soul

Patient and steady, letting God take control

With your soft-spoken words and your calming light

I feel your spirit even out of my sight

We might not cross paths as much as we used to

But your presence is always felt, thank you for being you

Yeah, your presence is always felt, thank you for being you
