Big John
I met a man the other day He's bigger than a door Behind his back he's called Big John To his face, "Senator" Big John has lots of power Prestige and all that stuff I have seen the man at work And boy he can be tough He has earned all men's respect Some fear him I am told Yet they all listen when he speaks His words are solid gold He doesn't pull no punches He's right there in your face No double talk, no pussy foot He'll put you in your place But John, he has a tender side Which doesn't always show His friends and family own his heart I've seen and know it's so He's gentle as a kitten When speaking of his wife Tears well up and fill his eyes When telling of his life Generous and gracious Not only big in size He never stands so tall as when He bends to recognize All the "little people" Who need a helping hand The depth of bending low to hear Is the true measure of a man Yes sir, I've finally met him the man know as Big John He'll not soon be forgotten His legacy lives on With love and appreciationYour friendCarol
