[Verse 1]
I remember looking back
At a little guy, me
Dust on my shoes
And the whole road in front of me
It makes me feel
I feel so happy
Like a screen door slam
And a summer running free
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss my grandparents
They were
The steady in the storm
The hands that held me warm
[Chorus]
Time flies by so
Time flies quick
Hold me close
Before it slips
I miss them still
I miss them still
Time flies by so
Time flies quick
[Verse 2]
Grandpa on the tailgate
Grandma in the yard
Bent over green beans
Under that one bare star
They taught me how to laugh
When the day ran thin
Now every old front porch
Brings that feeling back again
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss my grandparents
They were
The steady in the storm
The hands that held me warm
[Chorus]
Time flies by so
Time flies quick
Hold me close
Before it slips
I miss them still
I miss them still
Time flies by so
Time flies quick
[Bridge]
If I could call them up
Just to hear that plain old truth
I’d say I kept the lessons
They kept living in my boots
One more mile, one more prayer
One more smile, one more fight
Then I’d turn toward home
And let the memories light
[Final Chorus]
Time flies by so
Time flies quick
Hold me close
Before it slips
I miss them still
I miss them still
Time flies by so
Time flies quick
[Outro]
I remember looking back
And I’m looking back tonight
