| [00:16.982] |
The bullets of the false revenge have struck us once again |
| [00:28.452] |
As the angry seas have struck upon the sand |
| [00:30.505] |
And it seemed as though a friendless world had lost itself a friend |
| [00:37.372] |
That was the president and that was the man. |
| [00:45.205] |
I still can see him smiling there and waving at the crowd |
| [00:53.572] |
As he drove through the music of the band |
| [00:59.118] |
And never even knowing no more time would be allowed |
| [01:05.584] |
Not for the president and not for the man. |
| [01:13.364] |
Here's a memory to share, here's a memory to save |
| [01:20.156] |
Of the sudden early ending of command |
| [01:27.126] |
Yet a part of you and a part of me is buried in his grave |
| [01:33.124] |
That was the president and that was the man. |
| [01:40.843] |
It's not only for the leader that the sorrow hits so hard |
| [01:47.686] |
There are greater things I'll never understand |
| [01:54.067] |
How a man so filled with life, even death was caught off guard. |
| [02:06.174] |
That was the president and that was the man. |
| [02:11.479] |
Every thing he might have done and all he could have been |
| [02:17.037] |
Was proven by the troubled traitors hand |
| [02:22.749] |
For what other death could wound the hearts of so many men |
| [02:29.317] |
That was the president and that was the man. |
| [02:37.868] |
Yes, the glory that was lincoln's never died when he was slain |
| [02:46.220] |
It's been carried over time and time again |
| [02:52.559] |
And to the list of honor you may add another name |
| [02:59.750] |
That was the president and that was the man. |
| [03:07.290] |
That was the president and that was the man. |
