We had a wonderful grandfather,
One who never really grew old;
His smile was made of sunshine,
and his heart was solid gold;
His eyes were as bright as shining stars, and in his cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful grandfather,
and that's the way it will always be.
But take heed, because he's still keeping an eye on all of us,
so let's make sure
He will like what he sees.
