Johnny Johnson - Dear Grandpa Lyrics

Walking beside you, my head near your knees
I'll never forget a pair of your faded blue jeans
No memory less than laughing ear to ear
Your hands engraved stories I'll never get to hear

Dear Grandpa, I would really like to thank you for all of the memories we share
Dear Grandpa, I wish I could still ask you about what I couldn't back then
What I couldn't back then

How'd you know that your wife was the one
That you wanted to be with to take this hard world on
Nowadays I wonder what you struggled with
And how'd you tame the tough times and if you ever slept

Dear Grandpa, did you ever have to talk to your son about his ways
Dear Grandpa, I wish I could still ask you about what I couldn't those days

Maybe it's not for grandsons to know
How our grandpas became the grandpas that we love and hold
Maybe it's not for grandsons to know
Until we become grandpas of our own

Dear Grandpa, I would still like to tell you I hope that you're listening up there
Dear Grandpa, I would really like to tell you that I'm settling into a career
Dear Grandpa, I would really like to tell you that I've met a girl down here
Dear Grandpa, we would all like to tell you that we all miss you down here
Dear Grandpa, we would all like to tell you that we all wish you were here
We all wish you were here
We all wish you were here
