Father Time, a grandpa now
tells the same eternal yarns
here comes heartbreak and first love
there, a local boy makes good
Grandpapa knows magic tricks
clapping hands, the world stops still
while she waits for Christmas day
he waits to buy his first car
snapping fingers, just like that
sexy girl, athletic boy
turned to elders, old and gray
"pop" - a dream, and "poof" it's gone
much has changed in the moment
'tween when we entered the world
and soon, as we will depart
Gramps Time - more magic tales
