The Night Grandpa Left Us Here On Earth
The night you left us here on earth
You didn’t tell us you’d be going,
There was no goodbye kiss
No time to tell you what you’d miss.
You didn’t give us time to cry our last few tears
The night you left us here on earth.
The night you left us here on earth
Heaven was awaiting,
The angels were singing
God was beaming.
But we were broken,
Empty,
Lost,
Without your smiling face
In our hearts you left a space
The night you left us here on earth.
The night you left us here on earth
You went to meet the others-
Others who were lost too early,
A mother, father, son.
Although you have won
The rest of us have lost one
Who made the world turn,
If only you would return
We whispered to ourselves
The night you left us here on earth.
