Lyrics
The wind blew thru the evergreens, knocked a pinecone on the floor.
Grandma used to sweep them up but she aint here no more.
Grandpa keeps her plate on the table keeps her picture by the door
Keeps his eyes on the window like she might walk thru the door.
Everything you got will change; you will learn that after a while.
Put his boots on the table, with a cigar and a smile.
Don’t let your like slip away, he poured us a shot for him and me
What I remember most is these words he said to me. .
Son. Never look before you leap, it will only slow you down
Speak you heart when you speak, and always speak it loud.
Don’t think the world owes you something, nothing is all your get to keep.
Son, never let your dreams live only in your sleep.
I cried the day that Grandpa died, but I know he’s still with me today.
I picked up his old guitar and I taught myself to play
and when they put him in the ground, I knew he would not stay
Because he is in my heart, in my song and he is singing with me today.
Son. Never look before you leap, it will only slow you down.
Speak you heart when you speak, and always speak it loud.
The world owes you nothing, and nothing is all you get to keep.
So never let your dreams live only in your sleep.
So never let your dreams live only in your sleep.
