    Song I wrote about my Grandpa who just past away a couple days ago.

    From hot summers day to nice rainy evenings
    I spent it with you now its cold and we grieving
    I guess it was foolish but I though you'd never die
    Too strong of a heart for that beat to subside
    102 I figured you'd still pull through
    I'd show you my wife we'd spend a summer with you
    I remember you asking if there's any girls on my mind
    I wish I could've told you but I kept it inside
    You knew me as a baby, I knew you as a man
    If I had those two weeks back I'd spend em holding your hand
    I never talked to you much when I had a chance
    Just a memory now that my mind shows a glance (of you)
    So goodnight for a while I pray for you, rest
    I'll remember the few words you gave before you left
    A devoted servant of God gone from the world of the living
    The rest of us live with the memories you've given

    Chorus:

    Did you ever see me?
    Did the light of my skin
    Fill the black in your eyes that night?
    I listen to my memories
    I imagine your laugh
    the last sound I remember now

    I was able to meet you but not the youngest of your youngest
    but she feels you in her heart
    through our words she sees your wonders
    You prayed for us in your life
    now its time we pray for you
    Instead of sitting here wondering
    what we could've said to you
    I know you hate it when we cry
    I'll stiffen up my lip for you
    You said to live with happiness
    and faith in God through and through
    So I'll remember tuggin your beard
    So I could let you know that I was near
    Giving you the picture of your grandaughter
    Maybe you saw her in your tears
    I know you cried when we had left you
    never seeing her was your fear
    but I know now that you did
    we gave you memories to imagine
    and maybe you saw her through our eyes
    yea I know that's what happened
    maybe someday I can show her
    the sweet sound of your laughin
    Forget those thoughts of grief
    my memories won't be blackened
    A devoted servant of God gone from the world of the living
    The rest of us live on with the memories you have given

    Chorus:

    Did you ever see me?
    Did the light of my skin
    Fill the black in your eyes that night?
    I listen to my memories
    I imagine your laugh
    the last sound I remember now

    I'll just remember your rocking chair
    your body swinging without a care
    I'll remember sitting next to you
    the two of us just sleeping there
    I'll remember getting to know you if only for two weeks
    we met and I think you saw me now its time go back to sleep
    A devoted servant of God gone from the world of the living
    The rest of us live on with the memories you've given
