I’ll never forget the look on your face
I remember the time, I remember the place.
And you looked at me and said…
My heart was heavy, full of dread
You put your gentle loving hand
On my shoulder, so I would understand.
Your voice…I hear inside my head
And this is what you quietly said,
“The time I have is borrowed, dear,
And I’m not going to be right here
I’m so sorry, I’m going away
I want you to know I love you, okay?”
I brushed it off, I just couldn’t hear
Words so sad from one I loved so dear
Please, I beg. Please don’t say
Those words I knew
were oh so true.
I said, “You’re silly. I love you so
You’ll be here forever. You can’t just go
I need you here. Don’t say that
I don’t want to hear it, take it back.”
When I left your house that day
I hugged you tight
My heart could burst with all it’s might
Cause I knew I would never feel you again
And that was a pain I could never mend
That hug said more in seconds past
Than a billion words, that couldn’t last.
My arms said “I love you more.”
And life won’t be right without you, sure
I will be strong just like you are
And I promise to look for you in the stars.
Thank you so much for loving me
The way you did, so perfectly
My greatest fear was met the day
I heard you left and went away
I already knew cause on that night
You came to me and said, “it’s alright”
My whole body burned with your hug goodbye
And I woke from my sleep and started to cry.
And now I know what sadness means
Cause I can’t tell you about the things
That happen to me here on earth
I miss you so, and I still hurt
I wish I could feel you and hug you once more
I wish I could see you waving at the front door
I miss the comfort, the special things
That being your granddaughter used to bring
I cry when I miss you still this day
And so when I bow my head and pray
I say thanks for all you did for me
For being the one safe place to be
my grampsie
(ooooh)
I’ll never forget the look on your face
I remember the time, I remember the place.
