FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

Do you remember the times that we went walking?
Over yonder past the river?s edge, down that dirt road along the tracks
You?d say ?son, let me tell you the way it was ??
You would joke, and that would always make me laugh

Do you remember the times that we went fishing?
Down at farmer Johnson?s pond, by the barn out past the silo
Wasn?t long and I?d have my line all tangled up
You would laugh, and that would always make me smile

But now I?m staring at your name dated on that stone
Confused and all alone

For what it?s worth you always eased my pain
Like sunshine on a dark wet day, you always stopped the rain
As I drop down on my knees and lay a wreath upon this earth
Can you stop my crying? For what it?s worth

Do you remember the times that we went camping?
In that house we built back in the yard, in that tree up near the clouds
I?d say ?Daddy, can we take it a little higher??
You would smile and that would make me proud

And now I?m reaching to the sky ? struggling deep inside
My tears I cannot hide

For what it?s worth you always eased my pain
Like sunshine on a dark wet day, you always stopped the rain
As I drop down on my knees and lay a wreath upon this earth
Can you stop my crying? For what it?s worth

You always eased my pain
You always stopped the rain
For what it?s worth you always eased my pain
For what it?s worth
