Lyrics

First and last time

Every one knew it would come
Then the day arrived
Still there was pain and sorrow
On the day that that he died

He held on to that one thing
Left to do in his life
Was to to see his brand new grand child
Before he gave up the fight

There where tears in his eyes
As he held that little baby tight
And he whispered goodbye
And he kissed her
For the first and last time

There was no need for words
It was all right there in his smile
For a moment everything was all-right
As he rocked his boys child

In his heart he knew
He'd never watch her grow up
But spending time with her now
It was almost enough

There where tears in his eyes
As he held that little baby tight
And he whisbered goodbye
And he kissed her
For the first and last time

Now that girl is five years old
And her eyes light up whenever she's told
About the joy she gave to her grandpa
On the day that she was born

There where tears in his eyes
As he held that little baby tight
And he whisbered goodbye
And he kissed her
For the first and last time
