Grandpa's hands.......

Grandpa's hands

Clapped in the bleachers on Monday nights
Grandpa's hands
Played the harmonica so well
Grandpa's hands
Used to issue out a warning
He'd say, Billy you should charge the ball
Spread your legs and don't you fall..
Block it with your every/all..
Grandpa's hands
Grandpa's hands
Soothed the shoulders of my grandma 
Grandpa's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandpa's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her
He'd say, trust me baby I understand
That you really love this man
Can't believe how lucky I am
Grandpa's hands
Grandpa's hands
Used to hand me some advice
Grandpa's hands
Lifted me up when I was down
Grandpa's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
He'd say, Matty don' berate that boy
Life is hard and baseball's a toy
He didn' drop no routine fly ball
But I don't have grandpa to visit or call
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandpa's hands
Hmm-mmh
