Tales From The Bronx

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
