And since you passed away
I wish you could've stayed
So why did you have to go?
If you could see me now
Please tell me you're proud
You just have to let me know

It was your time, I couldn’t let go
Into the light, my world went cold
And my world blacked out, it went dark
The second that the beat, left your heart
Far removed from March, standstill
Your eyes closed, didn’t feel real
There’s so much I wish, you could now see
I have so much to share, well everything
And do you know that we all still miss you?
All the love and lessons you gave too?
And I miss those days at the piano
You’d play all these songs, I did not know
Only saw your last 19 years
But there’s much more, that I want to hear
Sincerely with love, your grandson
Please write back in time when you have some

And since you passed away
I wish you could've stayed
So why did you have to go?
If you could see me now
Please tell me you're proud
You just have to let me know

Things seem to get back to normal
But things still feel so horrible
How can everyone smile and move on?
In the knowledge that you’re now gone?
Maybe it’s the fact you’re free from the pain
Father time you bastard, you should be ashamed
You broke her down, like you couldn’t care
She couldn’t take that last year in that wheel chair
Whatever to that, at least your spirit roams
I take you with me, when I leave home
You’re now imprinted, in everything I do
Vicarious but a welcome reminder of you
And I’m thankful, you were here for me daily
And you basically raised me right from a baby
And you loved me so much, I couldn’t stand it
I should have never taken you for granted

And since you passed away
I wish you could've stayed
So why did you have to go?
If you could see me now
Please tell me you're proud
You just have to let me know
