about

This song is dedicated to the best and strongest man I've ever known. My Dad, Harry Edward MacKay.

lyrics

You worked hard… all along
For years you gave us everything and taught us right from wrong
You gave us a strong hand… but only when we needed one
And then a soft place to land… when it was done

You should be proud… of what you’ve done and where you’ve been
You’ve been my hero… since I can’t remember when
You’re at the top of my list of extraordinary men…
I know I’m gonna miss you now and then.

But now you tell me not to worry, everything will be just fine…
You said “We all will have our time to go... and this just happens to be mine…”

But, I’ll see you on the other side…
this is just so long… this is not goodbye.
And when its my… my time to fly…
I’ll walk up tall to those pearly gates, knowing I lived a good life
Someday when you’re ready…
someday when it’s your time
You can bet that I’ll be standing there waiting for you… on the other side.

I remember how you taught me how to stand up tall and be a man
And you always said “turn the other cheek, Son if you can”
But if you have to fight, fight with honor and for those who need a hand
Cause, the man upstairs will always understand…

But now the time is short and the days are few…And I know I wouldn’t be half the man I am… without you.

But, I’ll see you on the other side…
this is just so long… this is not goodbye.
And when its my… my time to fly…
I know I’ll see you standing there, telling me everything’s alright
And though you couldn’t stay…
now I know I’ll be OK
Cause I know now that someday… I will see you… on the other side.
