Granddad's Song
When you're leaving dad, you put to bed a century
You've been 'around longer than us all
I'll miss you like mad but what you left it lingers
And I will bring it down the line
I have been so blessed and it ain't over yet
Regret the regrets
Whatever counts comes next
Read the stories dad, let me in on your secrets
The older they got, the more they grew
I'll sing the songs you sang, carry the notes you couldn't
And do the work you weren't allowed
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
When you walked your walk, your feet were apart like mine are
Your wellies paved the way for me
When you talked the talk, we all shut(ted) up and listened
You cast a shadow long and wide
I have been so blessed and it ain't over yet
Regret the regrets
Whatever counts comes next
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
You've been 'around longer than us all
I'll miss you like mad but what you left it lingers
And I will bring it down the line
I have been so blessed and it ain't over yet
Regret the regrets
Whatever counts comes next
Read the stories dad, let me in on your secrets
The older they got, the more they grew
I'll sing the songs you sang, carry the notes you couldn't
And do the work you weren't allowed
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
When you walked your walk, your feet were apart like mine are
Your wellies paved the way for me
When you talked the talk, we all shut(ted) up and listened
You cast a shadow long and wide
I have been so blessed and it ain't over yet
Regret the regrets
Whatever counts comes next
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
On and on together we will stand
Carry me granddad in your big old hands
