[Verse]
He wore that old suit every Sunday
Said it made him look sharp and fine
But the seams were frayed like an old cliché
[Chorus]
Nobody had the heart to tell him
Nobody could break his stride
He walked like the world was with him
With a grin ten miles wide
[Verse 2]
He danced alone at the county fair
His shoes tapping on the cracked wood floor
The band played on but no one stared
[Prechorus]
Was it pity or love
Or just a silence we shared
[Chorus]
Nobody had the heart to tell him
Nobody could dim his glow
He moved like the sun was shining
Even when the clouds would show
[Bridge]
Every wrinkle told a story
Every scar sang a tune
He was a book we never opened
And we all turned the page too soon
