Tonight Heaven Got One Hell of a Man

They dont make em like they used to he said
With a tear on his face
And we each share a mem'ry of him
That sorrow and time can't erase

Though it seems much too early I'm guessing 
It's all just a part of the plan
Cause we all know the truth is tonight
Heaven..... got one hell of a man

One hell of a father
One hell of a son
One hell of a friend
He was second to none

One hell of a husband
Who fought one hell of a fight
One hell of a man's going home.....
To Heaven tonight

They all smiled a little smile
Cause they'd never heard it that way
But the truth is he said it with respect
And an honest, sincere type of grace

He said in closing I came here tonight
So he would know where I stand
I'll miss you my friend, till I see you again
I'm happy that Heaven.......
Got one hell of a man

One hell of a father
One hell of a son
One hell of a friend
He was second to none

One hell of a husband
Who fought one hell of a fight
One hell of a man's going home.....
To Heaven tonight

He lowered his head and he gave thanks
Words from the heart need no pen
We were blessed in this life
To be gathered this night
And Heaven.......
Got one hell of a man

Heaven got one hell.... of a man.....
