Lyrics
Grandpa?s Little Girl
©2006
Dan Lowder and Jeff Lowder
VERSE
Gramps lived his life for Mom and me,
An early-widowed man,
The family tree was just us three,
Here?s how it all began?
When I was born, my teenage mom,
Called Grandpa to her bed.
She laid me gently in his arms,
And this is what he said?
CHORUS
Hello bright eyes, you've come to meet us,
Straight from the arms of our lovin' Jesus.
There?ll be some hard times, but I?ll help you all I can.
Wherever you may wander in this world,
You will always be your Grandpa's little girl.
You will always be Grandpa's little girl.
VERSE
He shared his home with me and Mom-
A lovin? family.
He made me toast, fixed my bike,
And taught me how to read.
First day of school, some kids were cruel,
I ran away to hide.
Gramps found me out behind the stairs,
And held me while I cried.
CHORUS
Then he said?
Dry those sad eyes, your can belive this,
We?re always here for you, your Grandpa and Jesus.
Through all these hard times, we?ll help you all we can.
Wherever you may wander in this world,
You will always be your Grandpa's little girl.
You will always be Grandpa's little girl.
VERSE
The years had flown, and I had grown,
Was on my own at last,
When Momma?s call said come straight home,
Your Grandpa?s fadin? fast
He lay there, his snow-white hair,
A halo on the bed.
I took his hand, kissed his cheek,
And this is what I said...
CHORUS
I said?
Goodbye tired eyes, it's time to leave us,
Back to the arms of Grandma and Jesus.
There were some hard times, but you always got me through.
Wherever I may wander in this whole wide world,
I'll remember I was Grandpa's little girl.
I will always be my Grandpa's little girl.
I will always be Grandpa's little girl.
