Every Hat You Wear

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks walk through life real quiet Some light up every room they find With a laugh that's catching like a summer breeze And a heart that's one of a kind He'll mow your yard on a Saturday morning Then come home singing Elvis tunes [Chorus] Here's to the man who wears every hat Coach and soldier, husband, dad Santa suit and a diamond soul Fifty-six years and he still makes me whole Here's to the life we built together Here's to Frank, my now and forever [Verse 2] He came home from Vietnam still standing Traded battles for a baseball field Taught the kids to swing and never give up Showed this world how a good man heals Grandpa jokes and a great-grandpa's gentle hands A bowl of ice cream, his victory meal [Chorus] Here's to the man who wears every hat Coach and soldier, husband, dad Santa suit and a diamond soul Fifty-six years and he still makes me whole Here's to the life we built together Here's to Frank, my now and forever [Bridge] Every Christmas he's got that red suit on Sixty years of spreading joy But the greatest gift he ever gave Was the life he built with this lucky girl [Verse 3] Still out riding that mower in the sunshine Still doing Elvis with that crooked grin Frank, you gave me babies and a family tree That just keeps on growing branch by branch And if you asked me to do it all again Honey, I'd reach for your hand [Chorus] Here's to the man who wears every hat Coach and soldier, husband, dad Santa suit and a diamond soul Fifty-six years and he still makes me whole Here's to the life we built together Here's to Frank, my now and forever [Outro] From your Dee until the very end My best friend, my everything, amen
