Hey, grandpa, I wish you were here today I'm on my way to play another show I bet you'd love it, folks are sittin' on some hay So I'll pull out my fiddle an' I'll rosin up my bow What I'd give to see you sittin' in the front row Hey, grandpa, there's this boy I like a lot He loves fishin', workin' hard and Barney Fife I wish you could be here to see me walkin' down the aisle Can you believe I'm gonna be somebody's wife? It don't matter, but in case you'd like to know I saved a spot for you by grandma in the front row Now I know you're somewhere better And this is how it's gotta be And you wouldn't want us cryin' anyway But I'm always gonna carry a part of you in me Oh, I sure am missing you today Hey, grandpa, what's it like where you are now? Is it everything we dreamed it oughta be? I wish I could see you, without the pain that took you down Free to run, and free to laugh, and free to breathe I'll admit some days I just can't wait to go I can't help but there's a longing in my soul Oh, deep inside somehow I think I know When it's my turn, you'll be there waitin' in the front row Now I know you're somewhere better And this is how it's gotta be The ones we love, we never really lose Cause I'm always gonna carry a part of you in me But today I've gotta say, I'm missing you Hey, grandpa, I wish you were here today I'm on my way to play another show
