In my fashion, I have been a good man
I have loved, and I have lost
Ever after, I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
There have been times, I have seen the reaper
In the bad times, and in the good
I have bent down, I have touched the ground
Saying prayers and touching wood
Chorus
In my fashion, I have been a father
I have loved and been loved in return
From the ashes, I have kept the home fires
Burning after all was said and done
Now take a look at me
Do I look like the kind of guy,
the kinda fool who went to school
And had to stand on a stool
Because he couldn't come t' terms with a slide rule
Take a look around again
Is it any different now than it was then
In my fashion, I have been a good man
I have loved, and I have lost
Ever after, I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
Ever after, I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
