Grandpa's Song

Grandpa I miss you

Sittin’ in your chair

And the way that the world made sense with you there

I thought I was ready

To tell you goodbye

So why can’t I hold back these tears in my eyes

Damn, if it don’t make me feel old

To these kids you’ll just be an old story that gets told

Could you look down and show me the way

I wanna be strong as you were someday

Grandpa we’re OK

But it’s been a long year

Seems everyone needs something from me ‘round here

And I miss just listenin’

To the way you would talk

Like someone who’d been there and was walkin’ the walk

And damn if it don’t make me feel old

To these kids you’ll just be an old story that gets told

Could you look down and show me the way

I wanna be strong as you were someday

And I know I ain’t livin’ the way that you did

I am no longer that freckle-faced kid

I wander in shadows and shades of gray

But I remember how you taught me to pray

Grandpa I miss you

Sittin’ in your chair

And the way that the world made sense with you there

And I know I told you

But I’ll say it again

Thanks for everything
