I still listen to those tapes of you from 1977
And when I close my eyes and hear you singin' Jones
It's my own private heaven
Yeah, music is the bond that keeps us close
But hearin' your sweet tenor voice is what I love the most
And hey, my music man
You spent your days workin' nights
Playin' left hand bass in a three-piece band
And I know that life and love were hard
But you don't ever have to apologize for bein' who you are
Your blood and bones have made me who I am
Music man
Now life ain't always dealt you the fairest cards to play
But you gave your life to Jesus
Faced your demons and played them anyways
And there were times I know you felt like givin' up (givin' up)
But you're up there now, lookin' down on mw
And that'll always be enough
And hey, my music man
You spent your days workin' nights
Playin' left hand bass in a three-piece band
And I know that life and love were hard
So you don't ever have to apologize for bein' who you are
Your blood and bones have made me who I am
Music man
You never had to say it
But I could see it in your eyes
And the love we share will never know goodbye
And hey, my music man
And I know that life and love were hard
You don't ever have to apologize for bein' who you are
And your blood and bones have made me who I am
Music man
Music man
Oh, my music man
Ooh
