Lyrics
I can't forget that cold December morning
you left before I could say goodbye
And I know I've got to get up and keep going
But all I want to do is sit and cry
And all those memories that used to seem so long ago,
Come raging like a river through my mind
Will I ever become Superman like you appeared to me,
Who controlled all space and time, when I'm seen through your Grandson's eyes
Traveling down this road alone, without you by my side,
At times it seems more than I could can take
Who will I turn to now when I'm looking for advice?
Well I guess I'll have to learn through my mistakes
And I wonder If I'll ever become half the man you were, or half the father that you were to me
I wonder how I'll measure up when my son thinks of me
Will he see the same giant that I saw whose head would scrape the sky?
will I stand that big and strong, when I'm seen through your Grandson's eyes....Through your Grandson's eyes
When I tuck him in at night and kiss his little angel face
does that smile he flash me that I'm doing O.K.?
Why's the sky blue, where does God live, and where do babies come from? When those questions come will I know what to say/
I've taught him how to say his prayers, just they way you taught me
Word for word, kneeling side by side
And as I turn to get one last glimpse before turning out the lights,
behind that little smile, I see you in your Grandson's eyes
In your Grandson's eyes
And I'm OK, I'm alright (I feel Good)
4X
All the lessons that you taught me, back then I didn't understand
but now I see how far you've brought me, you helped make me a better man
now the student is the teacher, with a son all of my own
I'll take the blessings you gave to me, raise him up and pass them on.
