Charlie Hula - Grandad Lyrics

Well old boy, you don't look well
Pains me to say it but you're just a shell
Of the brighter man I knew you to be
In your way like this I'd hate you to see

We must stand tall oh we must stand strong
Must find a way to carry on
But it's the time of year where we all take stock
Of the things we have and the things we have not

Maybe I shouldn't say it
But this fate feels much worse
Than a swift and painless ending
To a life rich in its verse
Now sing this chorus together
We'll miss you when you're gone
And none will more than I do
But it's time we must press on

I'll drink to you when it comes around
When they lower your body into the ground
And I'm sorry to say I wish you were gone
Well you already are your body won't be long

Maybe I shouldn't say it
But this fate feels much worse
Than a swift and painless ending
To a life rich in its verse
Now sing this chorus together
We'll miss you when you're gone
And none will more than I do
But it's time we must press on
