http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/calvinstewartBig Guy Hugs © words and music by C. Stewart ( Oct. 15, 2013 ) He loved to write And draw cartoons Made us laugh Like big baboons Fan blade spinning Round and round His clever words Get turned to sound CHORUS.... Everyday that He was livin' Big guy hugs were given The minute hand Will still tell time But ticks without A friend of mine Tampa Bay will Still rock on Too bad Tampa Stan is gone CHORUS... Everyday that He was livin' Big guy hugs were given The minute hand Will still tell time But ticks without A friend of mine The minute hand Will still tell time But ticks without A friend of mine At The End Of The Game It All Goes Back In The Box

It's difficult in times like these, for one to put together a song that says it right. It' no easy task. I presume a great number of songs and words for this man will flow, but few will get replayed or reread; few will get passed on and will fade with his memory as the weeks go on.
This one must go on, Cal!!
Beautifully said!
My only hope is that the music does such profound and honest words, justice.
I know it will!!!
Just beautiful, brother.

Lovely, Calvin.
Especially moving is this section; simple but powerful:
The minute hand
Will still tell time
But ticks without

Wow, how good is this? This Stan guy must be some kind of cool for all these lyrics he has inspired. This one of a kind lyric is so personal to this one of a kind guy. Job well done, it makes me feel like I'm missing this person I've never met. Thats how its done.
GOD bless
