Looking through old memories in my cedar closet stashed away
I found the old mandolin Grandpa used to play
I picked it up and held it close thinking `bout those years ago
And all the great music Grandpa made
Weathered worn but never frail with calloused hands he gently played
To bring an easy feeling to a hard working day
When times were tough as they could be he never once complained to me
He`d just let the music sooth the the pain
When Grandpa played the mandolin the family gathered `round
To sing the old time songs generations handed down
I remember every single phrase from every song he played
Wish I could sing a song with Grandpa today
I recall 1961 the year Grandpa passed away
The family gathered `round once more to sing Amazing Grace
Now this mandolin`s reminding me of what my Grandpa taught to me
That music makes the world a better place Send " Grandpas Mandolin" Ringtone to your Cell
