Story Behind The Song

the story is about my grandfather and growing up realizing that everyone else is growing older along with you.

Lyrics

He?ll Never Grow Old
By Molly McLean


Today was the first time in twenty four years
That I noticed he was growing old.
His hands trembled a little as he took out his pocketknife
For the first time he asked for my help.

All these years I?ve never noticed the age in his face,
But today a few more wrinkles had taken their place.
His hands are like leather, his heart like gold.
I never knew that he could grow old.

(Chorus)
He taught me how to drive a tractor across the big green pasture
He taught me how to swim across the creek
He watched as I learned how to ride my old brown bike.
It?s so hard to believe
That he would grow old right alongside of me.

Ever since I was a child, I stood right by his side,
And probably in the way, but he never let it bother him.
He just looked at me with his sweet grin and taught me a few
Of life?s lessons each day.

His eyes twinkle a little as he looks up at me. This man that I love
So much says that he loves me. Now his cheeks are rosy red and his hair
is starting to thin.
His eyesight is starting to grow a little dim.

(Bridge)
But he still has a strong grip and can take on any man.
I have been so blessed to have him as my granddad.

(Chorus)
He taught me how to drive a tractor across the big green pasture,
He taught me how to swim across the creek.
He watched as I learned how to ride my old brown bike.
It?s so hard to believe
It?s so hard to believe
That he would grow old alongside of me.
