lyrics

GRANDPA MILL

Grandpa Mill, I see you
As a short but handsome young man
Too young was I to understand
The pain and suffering you went through

Sitting on your lovely horse
Before the mustard gas attacked you
Through your long years, what could you do
But face it bravely of course

I remember many things
The short, sharp bark when you laughed
The clean white hanky that sponged away the tears
But most of all, I recall my love for you

Grandpa, dry your eyes
Let me take the pain away
I never once heard you complain
Grandpa, dry your eyes

And Grandpa, through the years
I recall your winning smile
You kept joking all the while
Grandpa, through the tears

I remember many things…

Playing cards on rainy days
Then a change upon your face
Abject misery mixed with rage
Let me take the pain away

Now I’m older and you’re gone
You fought your battles through the years
I never understood your moods then
But I do now

I remember many things…

(Gary Miller
