In My Fashion

In my fashion I have been a good man
I have loved and I have lost
Ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way

There have been times, I have seen the reaper
In the bad times and the good
I have bent down, I have touched the ground
Saying prayers and touching wood

In my fashion, I have been a father
I have loved and been loved in return
From the ashes, I have kept the home fires
Burning after all was said and done

Now take a look at me
Do I look like the kind of guy?
The kind of fool who went to school
And had to stand on a stool

Because he couldn't come to terms
With a slide rule
Take a look around again
Is it any different now than it was then?

In my fashion I have been a good man
I have loved and I have lost
And ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way

And ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
