Oh What A Beautiful Thing...

Walking the dog
I pass the park
I see a young girl on a swing
And my dog starts to bark

She runs over
Says he is very cute
Leans down to pat him
Suddenly my ears start to go mute

Flashbacks happen all the time
I see myself on that swing
Im smiling yelling higher higher
Oh what a beautiful thing

Im with my grandma
And together we start to sing
I remember how happy I was
Oh what a beautiful thing

I jump off in mid air
I remember the rush made me start giggling
I run over to my grandad
Oh what a beautiful thing

I grab his hand
And together we start spinning
He picks me up and spins me more
Oh what a beautiful thing

Then we rush to grandma
She is still smiling
We walk home hand in hand
Oh what a beautiful thing

I snap out of my dream
The young girl is still playing with my pet
I blink and try to watch them
But I cant as my eyes have become too wet

Remembering such things
Will always bring a tear to my eye
Sometimes i cant fight the water
and I just break down and cry
