You were there when I was born
You were there as I took my first steps
You were there on my first day of school
You were there when I came home crying
You were there when I fell in love
You were there when I was heartbroken
You were there when I went to university
But you weren't there when I graduated
You weren't there when I moved to Japan
You weren't there when I got married
You won't be here when I have kids
You won't be here when I have grandkids
But Grandpa, you'll be there when I'm done
When I leave this mortal earth for good
Whether it's in my memories, or in another world
Then we'll talk, and catch up like two old friends.
