An old man, he lies dying
On a cold icy bed
Never thinking where he's going
And always thinking where he's been
He's remembering the good times
and forgetting all the bad
And on his tomb stone we will read
'Hear lies a sad and lonely man'
Hold your head up high
Didn't always seem this bad
People loved you and respected
all the courage that you had
All your friends have gone before you
Everyone seems dead and gone
But what about that happy childhood?
That you think of on and on
He's remembering the good time
and forgetting all the bad
on his tomb stone you will read
'Hear lies a sad and lonely man'
Hold your head up High
Didn't always seem this bad
People loved you and respected
All the courage that you had
Hold your head up High
Didn't always seem this bad
People loved you and respected
All the courage that you had
Hold your head up High
Didn't always seem this bad
People loved you and respected
All the courage that you had
