Grand-Daddy
YOU MADE ME SMILE WHEN I HAD A FROWN ON MY FACE,
YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU COULD FOR ME AND WHAT A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME YOU
HAD TO WAIST.
YOU HURTED AND SUFFERED PAIN,
AND AS I LOOKED AT YOU I WANTED TO CRY BECAUSE I KNEW YOU COULDN'T MAINTAIN.
WE CLEANED UP YOUR CLUB,
AND AFTER THAT I WOULD WALTZED OFF TO THE TUB.
BUT NOW THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME,
PLUS NOTHING REALLY REMAINS.
I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU LEFT,
EVERY SINCE THEN I HAVEN'T BEEN MYSELF.
YOU LEFT THIS EARTH VERY WISE,
EVERY SINCE THEN I ALWAYS CRIED.
I HEAR YOUR VOICE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
NOW ALL I DO IS LOOK UP AT THE CLOUDS.
I REMEMBER THE LAST WORDS YOU SAID BEFORE YOU LEFT,
I CERTAINLY HAVEN'T BEEN MYSELF AND I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING AS IF IM FIGHTING DEATH
SUCH WALTZING ISN'T EASY.
YOU PASTED OUT IN YOUR CLUB AND HIT YOUR HEAD,
EVERY SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN KINDA HARD FOR ME TO COMPREHEND.
YOU GOT TO THE HOSPITAL AND YOU WAS ALRIGHT,
THEN THE VERY NEXT NIGHT THE LORD TOOK AWAY YOUR LIFE.
NOW YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART,MIND,AND SOUL.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH,
AND I STILL HAVEN'T LET YOU GO.
I KNOW THAT YOU HAD BIG DREAMS FOR ME PLUS YOU WOULDN'T LET THEM DIE,
BUT NOW I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT
BECAUSE YOU ARE WATCHING OVER YOUR GRAND-DAUGHTER UP HIGH IN THE SKY.......
