(Jose Luis Roman - Intro)

(Lystic - Intro)
I just wanted to take a second, to thank all yall for being here today
To celebrate the life and the after-life of a great man
Jose Luis Roman, my Grandpa
This is our song…

(Lystic)
April 29th, a day I’ll never forget
Holding my mother as she cried cause we heard your sunset
It was the darkest hour I ever lived in my life
I had to be strong, but I cried myself to sleep that night
You showed me so much about what it was to be a man
And I was holding your hand, almost everyday, as you neared the end
I called you “Papa” like you was my dad
And when I think about it now, you’re the only real father I ever had
A year’s gone by and I’m missing you still
I know I got to be strong, but I’m always keep it real
When they put you in the ground, Rachel had to help me walk
And I’m recording this now; it’s kinda hard to talk
You were the only man in my life that never went away
And I know your not gone, I still feel you here today
The way I put these words together, I got it from you
And I’m never stop chasing my dreams, that’s my promise to you

(Jose Luis Roman – Chorus)

(Lystic)
May 5th, they brought the flowers by the baskets
That was the day the world stopped to view you in your casket
Beautiful, the only word that could describe
But I cried, because inside, I still wished that you were alive
My heart broke every time I saw my grandmother’s face
She would have given anything just to leave this place
That’s how we all felt, it’s so hard to say goodbye
But when I see a star in the sky, I know that’s you saying hi
No goodbyes, I see you later, how bout that
I’ll bring you your guitar so you can sing while I rap
Juan on the piano and Ashley on her saxophone
Mom with the tambourine and Grandma holding your microphone
And we can play our song, until the end of time
Celebrating with Jesus drinking heavenly wine
That sound fun, that’s something I look forward to
So I’m work hard to get to heaven so I can kick it with you

(Jose Luis Roman – Chorus)

(Lystic)
Today, I wrote this describing how I feel inside
Time should heal all wounds, but sometimes, I still cry
Because I think of all your jokes and all the songs that you sing
The way you played the guitar and all the joy that you’d bring
They say I look like junior and junior look like you
I hope I get to look that fly when I’m 72
I did this all for the people that think that you’re gone
Your immortal, I resurrected you with this song
I’ll preserve your life’s work, so you can sing forever
Cause only you bring these people in this room together
All ways worked hard so your family had food to eat
That why when I get dressed for work, I put your shoes on my feet
So I hope I made you proud, I made this song for you
And know as long as I live, I’ll always be missing you
This is in memory of my grandpa, Jose Luis
Sempre te quero mucho papa, rest in peace…

(Jose Luis Roman – Chorus)
