The Strings Still Rhyme

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of love That a daughter understands The kind that builds a shelter With two strong working hands He gave his every heartbeat To the ones he held so dear A man of steady kindness Who made the world feel near [Chorus] Oh, the river keeps on running And the song goes on and on A great dad, a true heart Even when he's gone We carry all the laughter We carry all the light And his love still walks beside us Through every day and night [Verse 2] He'd cast a line at sunrise Cards laid on the table low Teaching us that family Is the only way to go He set his violin down for years For dishes, bills, and time But on that wedding morning He made the strings rhyme [Chorus] Oh, the river keeps on running And the song goes on and on A great dad, a true heart Even when he's gone We carry all the laughter We carry all the light And his love still walks beside us Through every day and night [Bridge] Laszlo, you gave us safe You gave us loved, you gave us home And the smile we miss the most Still lights the road we roam [Verse 3] Laszlo, there's a little girl Who has your gentle eyes She knows you through the stories Underneath the same blue skies You held on for the vows we made You waited, brave and strong And though the miles divided us Your love was never gone [Chorus] Oh, the river keeps on running And the song goes on and on Laszlo, a great dad, a true heart Even when you're gone We carry all the laughter We carry all the light And your love still walks beside us Through every day and night [Outro] So play that violin in heaven Let the angels hear you sing A great dad, forever In the joy your memory brings
