[Lyric] Grandfather (Jake Manisto)

Verse 1:

Grandfather, you left to soon

You were stolen from your life

Grandfather, you smiled wide

You lit the room with your life

Grandfather, you seemed so wise

You taught me how to tell time

Grandfather, you loved the game

You weren’t able to watch me play



Chorus 1:
I remember the last time we ever spoke

You were lying in the hospital

I was walking along the beach

With the sand beneath my feet

My father handed me the phone



Verse 2:

Grandfather, I see you everyday

In the frame inside my room

Grandfather, you seemed so brave

Even when things seemed doomed

Grandfather, I’m left with your chin

But I gained your heart’s size
Grandfather, It seemed you never sinned

From the view through my eyes



Chorus 2:

I remember the last time we ever spoke

You were lying in the hospital

I was walking along the beach

With the sand beneath my feet

My father handed me the phone



Bridge:

You spoke ill

But with a cheerful tone in your voice
Oh, You knew, you knew, you knew, you knew

That this was the end of the line

That this was our last time



Chorus 3:

I remember the last time we ever spoke

You were lying in the hospital

I was walking along the beach

With the sand beneath my feet

My father handed me the phone



Outro:

Grandfather, you left too soon

You were stolen from your life

Grandfather, you watch from above

I‘ll see you there sometime
