This is a song by a very proud first-time grandparent! ROUGH DEMO

Single keyboardist.

Retired, and enjoying it with my music! My philosophy regarding my music is K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid!): simple message, simple lyrics, simple melody so that anyone can sing along. If you're looking for a professional recording, you're in the wrong place. If you're capable of listening to a melody for consideration, then you're in the right place. I am always hoping that someone will see through my unprofessional singing and see the quality of the song and lyrics and decide to perform and/or record any of my songs. Of course, publishers are also welcome to publish my music. All of my songs are registered through SOCAN; so, if you are profiting from my music, please let your music affiliate (e.g. ASCAP) know. Thanks.

Story behind the song

My first grandchild, a boy, was born two days ago and it inspired me to write this song.

Lyrics

MY GRANDSON - by Dale Matthies © 2008

1.	I saw my grandson today.
	I know he’s part of God’s plan.
	But then it made me wonder,
	When did my son become a man?

		CHORUS:

		I can’t believe how time flies
		It just seems like yesterday
		I first saw my son’s sweet eyes.
		And now for my grandson I pray.

2.	Seems that not too long ago
	He came to live in this world.
	And then before I knew it
	A little boy in my lap curled.

3.	And then he was off to school,
	New friends he had of his own.
	Next when I looked he was gone
	Into a world that was his own.

4.	A girl he met and did love.
	A life together they formed.
	“Hey, dad, we’re having a child.”
	And my new family was formed.

		CHORUS

5.	Where did the time go, I asked.
	Was there anything I missed?
	No, God made sure all was done.
	He helped me complete His list.

6.	Now I know that my grandson
	Will grow to become a man.
	And my son, too, will complete
	The list of life that God has planned.

		CHORUS
