Verse 1:  
He still wears that old straw hat, the one from ’85,  
Sits out on the porch swing, watching sun paint the sky.  
His eyes still shine the same, though the years have changed his mind,  
Some days he knows my name, some days it’s hard to find.

Chorus:  
But I’ll keep holding on, to the man I used to know,  
Cowboy boots and laughter, lessons in the snow.  
Though the pictures fade, and the stories lose their rhyme,  
I’ll love him through the silence, one memory at a time.

Verse 2:  
He taught me how to drive that truck, and how to stand up tall,  
Now I help him to his chair when the evening shadows fall.  
I hear him whisper mama’s name, like she just walked through that door,  
And I thank the Lord for every smile that I still get to see once more.

Chorus:  
But I’ll keep holding on, to the man I used to know,  
Cowboy boots and laughter, lessons in the snow.  
Though the pictures fade, and the stories lose their rhyme,  
I’ll love him through the silence, one memory at a time.

Bridge:  
The road don’t end where the memory fades,  
I’ll carry his heart in every old song played.  
‘Cause love don’t forget, and it don’t turn to dust,  
Even when the mind does, the heart still trusts.

Final Chorus:  
So I’ll keep holding on, to the man I used to know,  
Cowboy boots and laughter, tales from long ago.  
Though the daylight dims, his spirit still will shine,  
My father’s still my hero—one memory at a time.
