Like Grandpa
February 1, 2011
Lyrics by Peggy Mack /Music by Rick Keane
A E
I remember Grandpa
F#m D
His blue eyes, smiling proudly
A E
When I was shy and small
F#n D
We'd play and laugh out loud.
A E
He taught me simple things,
F#m D
Like keep your head in a storm,
A E
Face hard times and believe,
F#m D
Admit when you are wrong,
A E A D
Cause we all are wrong sometimes, son
A E A
yeah......that's what my.....Grandpa told me....
Chorus:
D A
You're gonna be a good one, son,
D A
You're gonna get it right
D A
You'll fight the toughest fights
E
And you'll feel it when you've won.
D A D A
And I believed him And I prayed....
E A
God, please... let me be
A
Like grandpa...
A E
He said "When you get angry
F#m D
You can't see the forest for the trees".
A E
You'll find strength when you're bending,
F#m D
Like a willow in a breeze
A E A D
We all need to bend sometime, son
A E A
yeah......that's what my.....Grandpa told me....
.
Chorus:
You're gonna be a good one, son,
You're gonna get it right
You'll fight the toughest fights
And you'll feel, it when you've won.
And I believed him
And I prayed....
God, let me be
Like grandpa...
Now I'm grown...
and He calls Heaven home..
and I still pray....
Oh please, God...
let me be….Like Grandpa...
