Testo Grandpa's Song

You were standing there years ago
Waiting so patiently to take me home
And as you held out your hand, I'll never forget
I walked right by you, this day I regret

I had fire in my heart and you knew it
I was like you, so much like you
As I marched along five paces ahead
You had a smile for me I still can't forget
Still I wanted to walk on my own
You were there to protect me on my way home

Time has gone and it's taken you with it
I miss you so, this much I know

Now I look back on all that I've done
I hope you've forgiven me, see, I was so young
I have grown, I now walk alone
I feel you beside me still guiding me home

I had fire in my heart and you knew it
I was like you, I was so much like you
Time has gone and taken you with it
I miss you so, this much I know
I miss you so, now that I know
