Song For Grandpa - Peter Katz video free download

Got some news this morning that my Grandpa really isn’t doing well. I had this song that I had written when he got sick a few years back and I thought I’d dust it off and spend the day working on it as a way to deal with the heavy heart. Thought I’d share it with you in real-time, in case it’s of use to you. Take care and love, P

Song For Grandpa

Words and Music by Peter Katz

I’ve got as silver dollar

That you gave to me

Pulled out of your pocket

With some hard candy

I’ve got a golden medal

That you won in the war

Flying with your brothers

Through the fire storm

I always thought

There’s nothing you can’t do

So with this thing

I know you’re going to make it through

If I had a question

All I had to do

Was sit down there beside and ask you

And if you had the answer

Even if you did not

Every time I sat there

There was something you had taught

I always thought

There’s nothing you can’t do

Oh I always thought

There’s nothing you can’t do

So with this thing

I know you’re going to make it through

Now you look so little

No colour in your face

You say that you’re tired

That you’re not long for this place

I don’t want to hear that

I don’t want to know

I am just not ready

No I can’t let you go

I want to be a boy now

Don’t want to be a man

Boys can rage against this

They don’t have to understand

And I always thought

There’s nothing you can’t do

Oh I always thought

There’s nothing you can’t do

Oh I always thought

There’s nothing you can’t do

So with this thing

I know you’re going to make it through
