Grampy's Memory

If it were up to me, I'd climb Heavens stair case. So, I could see your smiling face and hear your voice again. I'd give anything to hold your hand or get your opinion. Been three years that you've been gone your memory is oh so strong. Sitting here by myself surrounded by photographs scattered all around. as your eyes well up and rears fall uncontrollably I reach for your hand but you're not there. Even though we're miles apart we're connected by the heart. Until it is my time to fly you’re my angel tonight.
