Grandad, I need you

Grandad, remember all the times
When I was younger, I came to you
Crying I'd hurt my knee or Nanny had shouted
I was young but I still knew that;
you and Uncle where the only ones I trusted

Grandad, Remember when I was just turned 6
I came to you, I cried and cried
You sat me down you asked me whats up
I could count on you for everything
you where always the one to make me laugh
and dry away my childish tears

But 10 years on my childish tears are dry
Instead I cry tears of sorrow tears of pain
and I need you more than ever, Grandad
But i know I can not visit you,
For you have taken your place in Heaven
I dream that your hear with me, that your speaking
words of comfort to me, And i need you

Grandad, I need you
Remember all those times I got you to
relieve the story of your life in the forces
Of how much fun you had, of how proud you were
serving your country when it needed you
and now Grandad I need you

Are you watching me from above
with dispare, anger and rage
at what my life has become?
Or are you watching my life unfold,
happy about my decisions and how ive coped?

Shall I ever know, are you proud of me?

Grandad..I need you..
