Yeah,
we

our
hearts
tonight
Remembering
a
man
of
grace
Garth
Dooley,
your
light
still
shines
Oh,
sing
it
out,
let
the
heavens
hear.
As
your
wife,
l
miss
your
love.
[Verse 1] Mr.
Garth
Dooley,
you
walked
this
earth
so
tall
A
man
of
kindness,
you
answered
every
call
From
the
valleys
low
to
the
mountain
top
you
climbed
Leaving
footprints
of
love,
leaving
peace
of
mind
Married
to
a
jewel,
an
Edo
lady
Mrs.
Remi
A
union
built
on
heaven,
a
love
beyond
compare
With
Dave
the
first-born,
and
the
children
by
his
side
You
walked
with
wisdom,
you
walked
with
quiet
pride
[Chorus] Oh,
he
came,
he
saw,
he
conquered
with
his
love
Oh,
he
came,
he
saw,
he
conquered
with
his
love
A
messenger
of
kindness
sent
from
up
above
Mr.
Garth
Dooley,
you
left
a
legacy
so
true
We
celebrate
the
spirit
that
shines
in
all
of
you
Empathy
and
mercy
was
the
way
you
chose
to
tread
Your
spirit
lives
forever
in
the
words
you
ever
said
[Verse 2] Life
is
a
journey,
and
you
traveled
it
so
well
With
stories
of
compassion
that
all
your
children
tell
Dave
and
all
the
sibblings,
missed
you
You
reached
for
the
lonely,
you
gave
the
world
a
hand
of
hope
for
the
hopeless.
Spreading
seeds
of
healing
all
across
the
land
No
heart
was
too
heavy
for
you
to
lift
and
hold
A
heart
of
pure
devotion,
a
spirit
made
of
gold
[Chorus] Oh,
he
came,
he
saw,
he
conquered
with
his
love
A
messenger
of
kindness
sent
from
up

Mr.

We

ever
said.
Hon.
EJ
Agbonayinma
praying
for
God
to
accept
you
in
his
blossom.
Good
night
my
dear
friend,
brother
and
mentor
[Bridge] Though
you're
gone
so
soon,
the
music
doesn't
end
Every
act
of
mercy
is
a
message
that
you
send
We
rise,
we
rise,
on
the
wings
of
what
you
taught
The
beauty
of
the
battles
that
you
have
kindly
fought (

[Verse 3] So
let
the
drums
roll
out,
let
the
rhythm
tell
the
tale
Of
a
man
whose
kindness
never
once
did
fail
To
the
family
gathering,
feeling
love
so
deep
Promises
of
honor
are
the
promises
we
keep
Rest
in
the
garden
where
the
light
is
forever
bright
You
guided
us
through
darkness
into
the
morning
light
Dave,
stand
firm,
for
the
roots
are
running
deep
In
the
harvest
of
the
kindness
that
we
now
get
to
reap
[Chorus] Oh,
he
came,
he
saw,
he
conquered
with
his
love
A
messenger
of
kindness
sent
from
up
above
Mr.
Garth
Dooley,
you
left
a
legacy
so
true
We
celebrate
the
spirit
that
shines
in
all
of
you
Empathy
and
mercy
was
the
way
you
chose
to
tread
Your
spirit
lives
forever
in
the
words
you
ever
said
[Outro] Rest
now,
brother,
your
work
is
finally
done
Shining
like
the
morning,
shining
like
the
sun (
Garth
Dooley,
gone
but
not
forgotten)
Yeah,
the
love
remains
Oh,
it
remains (
Fade
out
with
steady
bass
and
organ
melody)
