Tell my father that his son Didn't run, or surrender That I bore his name with pride As I tried to remember You are judged by what you do While passing through As I rest 'neath fields of green Let him lean on your shoulder Tell him how I spent my youth So the truth could grow older Tell my father when you can I was a man Tell him we will meet again Where the angels learn to fly Tell him we will meet as men For with honor did I die Tell him how I wore the blue Proud and true through the fire Tell my father so he'll know I love him so Tell him how I wore the blue Proud and true like he taught me Tell my father not to cry Then say goodbye
This is so beautiful. The tempe was perfect for me. I prefer to sing at a faster pace. Would it be ok if i used your cover. For my cover when i sing it. I will be sure to include a link to this
I had an honors choir solo from this piece, and the director of the whole choir was actually a student of Andrea Ramsey, the arranger of this piece.
Tell my father that his son
Didn't run, or surrender
That I bore his name with pride
As I tried to remember
You are judged by what you do
While passing through
As I rest 'neath fields of green
Let him lean on your shoulder
Tell him how I spent my youth
So the truth could grow older
Tell my father when you can
I was a man
Tell him we will meet again
Where the angels learn to fly
Tell him we will meet as men
For with honor did I die
Tell him how I wore the blue
Proud and true through the fire
Tell my father so he'll know
I love him so
Tell him how I wore the blue
Proud and true like he taught me
Tell my father not to cry
Then say goodbye
