TALES FROM THE BRONX
Written by Martin J. McDermott
Verse 1
From the Bronx to the Jersey streets, he carried his name with pride
A gentle strength, a steady hand, always standing by my side
Through tales from the Bronx, he showed me how to live
Kindness was the greatest gift a man could ever give
Chorus
He was the kindest man I’ll ever know
With every step, he helped me grow
Tales from the Bronx still carry me
That’s enough dad, that’s enough for me
Verse 2
He worked his days, he dreamed at night, but never turned away
Through laughter and forgiveness, he taught me how to stay
When failure tried to break me, he’d lift me up again
In the silence, I could hear the strength of where I’d been
Chorus
He was the kindest man I’ll ever know
With every step, he helped me grow
Tales from the Bronx still carry me
That’s enough dad, that’s enough for me
Bridge
Now he’s gone where the angels sing
But his voice lives on in everything
When my last day comes, I know he’ll be
The first one there, waiting for me
Final Chorus
He was the kindest man I’ll ever know
Carried my heart and never let go
Tales from the Bronx, his legacy
That’s enough, Dad, that’s enough for me
Outro
Tales from the Bronx… still carry me
