[Verse 1]
In my fashion I have been a good man
I have loved and I have lost
Ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way

[Verse 2]
There have been times I have seen the reaper
In the bad times and in the good
I have bent down, I have touched the ground
Saying prayers and touching wood

[Verse 3]
In my fashion I have been a father
I have loved and been loved in return
From the ashes I have kept the home fires
Burning after all was said and done

[Bridge]
Now take a look at me
Do I look like the kind of guy
The kinda fool who went to school
And had to stand on a stool
Because he couldn't come to terms with a slide rule?
Take a look around again
Is it any different now than it was then?
[Verse 1]
In my fashion I have been a good man
I have loved and I have lost
And ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
And ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
