lyrics

oh grandpa
I see you sitting there
hey grandpa
do you miss your hair?

do you miss the time with our grandma, dear
i heard you danced all night
and you held her near
oh grandpa
what's the real story, grandpa?

cause we heard you fought about a zillion bears
and you saved my dad and were a millionaire
oh grandpa
what's the real story, grandpa?

were you ever in a war?
did you ever run away?
do you ever feel alone?
is there anything you would change?
tell me all about it grandpa
oh grandpa
I really wanna know, grandpa.

I remember when I was very young
and you would riddle me and I would get it wrong
oh grandpa
i still remember that, grandpa
and now every time I learn of something new
well my light gets bright
and I think of you
oh grandpa
I'm a little bit of you, grandpa
oh grandpa
more than just a little bit, grandpa

and we're lucky we have time
you can tell me all the things
that you wanted me to know
and i'm finally ready to hear
what's the real story, grandpa?
hey grandpa
I really wanna know, grandpa.
