He Taught Me Everything

I've learned so much throughout my life
'Cause so many people have helped me so many times
And all of them willing to teach me and give me hope
But of them, my granddaddy is who I looked up to the most

Because he taught me everything that I now know about life
About music, about baseball, and riding bikes
He taught me about Jesus and how he cares
And one day, I know I'll see him, in Glory way up there

He was always so full of happiness and life
He'd often talk, laugh, and joke with me just to pass the time
He was a preacher, the best I've ever known
And now he's up in heaven, singing around the master's throne

Now, sure I miss him and it hurts so much
Wishing, with him, I could have had more time
But I know he's happy where he's at right now
And all that I can do down here is keep his memory alive

And when I've finally traveled my last mile
I can almost picture it, I'll see him with a big smile
I'll run to him, but he'll run faster than me
Then I'll hug him, and tell him I missed him, I promise you that's how it's going to be

'Cause he taught me everything that I now know about life
About music, about baseball and riding bikes
He taught me about heaven and now he's there
And one day, I know I'll see him, in the meeting in the air
Yes, one day I know I'll see him, in glory way up there
He was my best friend
