The Gentleman's Way

[Verse] He tips his hat to the morning sun. A gentle smile for everyone. With a coat too worn, and boots untied, he walks the road. A man with pride. [Verse 2] In shadows cast by old oak trees, he listens close to whispered pleas. The children laugh, the elders sigh, He meets each gaze, no ask too high. [Chorus] I take notice of sorrow, and notice of pride, and when children seek comfort I never will hide. There are feelings announced by addresses to man in the steps of the gentleman taking a stand. [Verse 3] With eyes of blue, like a midday sky, he hugs the hearts of passersby. A story shared, a tear wiped dry, he wraps their wounds and hears their cry. [Verse 4] In evening's hush the town grows still. He hums a tune on the windowsill. The weary souls, they drift to sleep. In dreams they know his love runs deep. [Chorus] I take notice of sorrow, and notice of pride, and when children seek comfort I never will hide. There are feelings announced by addresses to man in the steps of the gentleman taking a stand.
