[Verse]
Take me back to the yard, where the fireflies danced.
To the house i grew up in, And his weathered hands.
Where the stories he told, made the grandkids jump for joy
I’d give anything to once again, Be that little boy
[Prechorus]
Back when life was just a barefoot race
And his laugh was the safest place
[Chorus]
Take me back to the time
When his love was all I knew
When the sky was wide and the world was kind
And the mornings began a new
Take me back,
oh take me back
To when grandpa was my best friend
[Verse 2]
Take me to his man cave full of John Wayne,
The baseball diamond where he taught me to play
the whistle on his lips filling the summer air
Watching tv in his old recliner chair
[Verse 3]
He knew every bird by the song they’d sing
And Made the simple feel like everything
Back when days stretched like the open sky
And his hugs fixed the hurt when I'd cry
[Chorus]
Take me back to the time
When his love was all I knew
When the stars were bright and all aligned
When the nights were velvet blue
Take me back, oh take me back
(Bridge)
oh how i thought those days would never end
when grandpa was my best friend
Take me back to the time
When his love was all I knew
When the sky was wide and the world was kind
And the mornings began a new
Take me back, oh take me back
Take me back to the time
When his love was all I knew
When the stars were bright and all aligned
When the nights were velvet blue
Take me back oh take me back
To when grandpa was my best friend
When grandpa was my best friend
