©1982 by Gordon Lightfoot

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 homefires
Burning after all was said and done

(SPOKEN BRIDGE:)
Now take a look at me
Do I look like the kind of guy
The kind of fool that went to school
And had to stand on a stool
And he couldn't come to terms with a slide rule
Now 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
