If you'da told him, He'd father eight kids

He'd think you're crazy, just like him

If you'da told him, expect eleven grandbabies

He'd bought more candy to toss at their faces

If you'da told him, his stories brought hope

To everyone that listened, he'd record every visit

If you'da told him, to many you're a hero

He'd wonder why but, we all know

If you'da told him, butterflies would symbolize him

He'd want nothing less, he was an outdoorsman

If you'da told him, we'd cry for years

He'd hold us all and wipe our tears

If you'da told him, we'd be wearing his shirts to bed

He'd pass them out himself instead

If you'da told US, we'd miss him this much

We'd believe you knew his touch

If you'da told US, he'd be leaving this place

We'd whisper "i love you" with one last embrace
