Tonight I'm thinking of my Dad,
As he rests in a hospital bed,
And I sit helpless by,
A
distance of miles.
I remember his smile,
And the twinkle in his eye,
His hearty laugh,
And sitting on his lap.
One day I became a lady,
And he gave me away,
To start my own life,
And be a good wife.
Soon he was a grampa,
And dancin' the polka,
With my Noelle,
Just like he used to with his little belle.
Time went by for a while,
But soon came more smiles,
With David - a bouncing boy,
A grampa's pride and joy.
Joshua came so sly,
To find his path,
From Grampa's lap.
Soon Christopher came after the ice,
But there was a price,
Both Grampa and Grandson,
A rough year to come.
The song says that yesterday,
My problems seem so far away,
But today I can still smile,
Because my Dad smiled all the while.
