Lyrics – He Went Out Like a Man

He Went Out Like a Man

I learned my best friend, he was dying
So, I played him a Bach Sarabande
The music he heard spoke louder than words
Say what you want, he went out like a man

When I finished playing my tune
I took his trembling hand
I thought of the years and fought back the tears
Say what you want, he went out like a man

They say grief comes in stages
And there’s not always time to plan
When he closed his eyes, I broke down and cried
Say what you want, he went out like a man

They say grief comes in stages
And there’s not always time to plan
When he closed his eyes, I broke down and cried
But, say what you want, he went out like a man

Say what you want, he went out like a man
