Fare Well Paul Harvey
and tonight the rest of the story
let us not give the headlines
the best of the glory
let's remember the times of old
a history, something told
a storyteller tells the tale
of the bold
listeners tune in to listen
to what is gold
a riddle, a clue, a mystery to unfold
who is the subject and what is the goal
and in the end remembered
the great invention
within the story meaningful intentions
the storyteller had a way
of keeping our attention
as we listened in the car
or in the kitchen
for some he was our lunch time break
we listened to his commercials as we ate
the trick of advertisement was so sublime
we listened attentivly as he used his time
at times of mattresses,
and pills we listened to his appeals
while he told the story his ad's would pay the bills
and tonight the rest of the story
lets not give the headlines
the best of the glory
Paul Harvey went to meet his glory
leaving the rest of us wondering
what would be the rest of his story
surely he knew how to begin
and how to skillfully draw us in
as every story the master would begin
but this time there are no commercials
no special ad's made for his rehursal
only the quiet exit unto glory
and now we know the rest of his story
