MMMM-mmmmm
When I was a boy,the summers were ours
He would take me down to the sea
He?d stand on the waters edge
And watch me go crazy
As the gentle waves rolled in
Lookin' back I wonder how he must have felt
Watching me and running so free
All the years in his life he wished he could forget
Did he look at the world through me?
MMMM-mmmmm
When I was a man I flew across the Ocean
When I heard he needed care
I listened as he spoke of his turbulent life
From his ordinary chair
And he ended by saying
'Oh,I've had enough
The time has come for me to go
I have only one wish
That is left in me
To be taken peacefully'
MMMM-mmmmm
Just before I was due to marry
I heard he could not walk anymore
It was then he gave up fight
I had said goodbye
Almost one year before
And I'll never forget something he told me
?Yes it?s a cruel world ,but you must live without fear?
Well I sure do miss my grandfather
He's the reason why I'm here
