The Autobiographical Grandpa Lyrics

The Autobiographical Grandpa lyrics

I take a walk I mow the grass

I don't worry 'bout

the years that
pass

My wife is dead I live alone

in my little country home

I
have my memories

and dogs for friends





I water the
ferns I plant some seeds

I make sure to pull out all the weeds

And
to help myself along

I like to whistle this funny little song

I
sang in my army days when I was young





A hot air balloon I
will float away

At times I'm holding you





My kids and
grandkids come

to stay with me once a year

And on New Years I drive
down to be with them

Though I'm happy often I feel lonely

But when I
speak I hear my wife speak





Don't feel alone because you're
not really alone

Sweetheart no don't think you're alone





I feed the cat I sweep the floor

I don't fear dying anymore

I like
to fish with Ed and Will

in the pond by the old paper mill

I am
resigned to finish off my days this way
