Lyrics
Granpa sitting in the kitchen
I was planted on his knee
Hearing stories of his childhood
And how he thought my life should be
Years of wisdom pouring from his soul
My life soaking like a sponge
One conclusion drawn from what he said
"There's still so much left to be done"
Chorus
Gone too soon like the warmth of summer
Sands of time piling on each other
As life moves on it's easy to discover
Tomorrow will be gone to soon
Granpa said lifes like an ocean
And we're like sailors on the sea
We can chart our on direction
Or we can wonder aimlessly
When opportunity knocks on your door
Don't ever let it slip away
Repeat chorus
He has been gone now for several years
But he's left his mark behind
Now when choices seem so hard to make
His words come sailing through my mind
Repeat chorus
