Papaw

It broke my heart in two
Seeing you lying there
I know it\'s selfish to want to keep you
But it\'s only because I care

I know you were ready to go
You lived your life to the fullest
And me trying to keep you here
Was only being foolish

I know that you missed grandma
The last ten years you spent alone
You gave your life to God
You were just ready to go home

I couldn\'t help but cry
When I walked into the room
Every one was gathered \'round you
I could already sense the gloom

Every one knew what was happening
But nobody wanted to say
But we all knew we\'d have to get prepared
But no one was ready for this day

You looked so worn out
But you never lost that light in your eyes
So, grandpa just remember....
This won\'t always be goodbye

I love you so much
More than you\'ll ever understand
I look up to you so much
You are such a remarkable man

You lived a long life
Ninety-one full years
I know we shouldn\'t cry
But I can\'t hold back the tears

So when you get to heaven
Tell grandma she\'s in my heart
Tell her that I miss her
And that we won\'t ALWAYS be apart
