Take me back

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

Back when life was just a barefoot race

And his laugh was the safest place

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

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

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

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
