Hey, Little Old Man
Hey little old man, what will you be doing today?
Giving-sound-advice to your family?
Chasing all the ghosts away?
Hey, little old man, what will you be doing today?
Playing with his ‘meow meow’ cat?
Dreaming of a better way?
You’ll believe in honesty
No room for complacency
Taking chances on your own
Making sure your thoughts are known
Little old man … Hey, little old man
Hey little old man, what do we know of you?
Never would you have to say
You weren’t all you’d be that day
Hey little old man, where did your smile go?
Never thought your wanderin’ ways
Would be the thing taking you away …
You believed in honesty
You became the energy
Taking chances on your own
Making sure your thoughts were known
You believed in melody
Tied to you so lyrically
Now that wings can lift you high
Where did you decide to fly
Little Old Man
Hey, Little Old Man
Hey, Hey, Alex …
Hey, Little Old Man
Hey, Hey Alex … Hey, Alex …

(Written for my beautiful son, Alex, who passed away Jan. 12, 2018.
When he was younger he was an old soul. We called him our 'little old man' constantly, and he fit that description up until he left us ...
I love you Alex. I will always love you, Alex. And, I will miss you every day of my life until I see you again.)
