Heroes like you will never be forgotten

I wrote a song to tell a story
Of a man that became part of my family
A soldier, a veteran, a very special friend

My Abu, a heroe like no other
Who from the blue sky is watching me...
Watching me...

You will never be forgotten
You will always be in my mind
You will always be in my heart
Always in my heart...

I still see your smile
Everytime I see a picture of the Golden Gate
All the good times we spent together
And how we used to laugh

I still remember how you always called me nietita
And how you loved the Smithfields ham
How fun it was to ride to the mountains in Letank
And all the experiences in San Francisco and Reno
And how your favorite food was alike

All the memories remain alive
As photos you used to take
One of your favorites the yellow rose
I still keep it closer to my heart

I still remember all your stories
They are alive as canvas in my mind
I see now the leaves falling from the trees
And your memories remain here in my heart

Heroes like you are never forgotten

My Abu, a heroe like no other
Who from the blue sky is watching me...
Watching me...

You will never be forgotten
You will always be in my mind
You will always be in my heart
Always in my heart...

Tu nietita, Yani
