The New York Times Editorial Board - A Tribute To Lou Gehrig lyrics

[Verse 1] We've been to the wars together We took our foes as they came And always you were the leader And ever you played the game [Verse 2] Idol of cheering millions Records are yours by sheaves Iron of frame they hailed you Decked you with laurel leaves [Verse 3] But higher than that we hold you We who have known you best Knowing the way you came through Every human test [Verse 4] Let this be a silent token Of lasting Friendship's gleam And all that we've left unspoken Your Pals of the Yankees Team
