Lyrics

Please know I’ll remember
The time we’ve spent together
You taught me things so eagerly
To take my life less seriously
Your house is full of clutter
You say it doesn’t matter
Life’s too short to pick up socks
To burn a bridge or turn a lock

PRECHORUS
And it was you
Who taught me ‘bout family
And it was you
Who showed me how to love

CHORUS
Older, wiser, softer, kinder
Older, wiser, softer, kinder
Older. wiser, softer, kinder
Older, wiser, softer, kinder

VERSE 2
Your laugh makes people stop and stare
You hear songs and music everywhere
I’ve seen you tango with a mop
Fed me cakes, hot chips and lollipops
You seem to have more time for me
You’d sweat and laugh and lie for me
Your grass gets greener everyday
I’m glad you’re here with me today

CODA

Please know I’ll remember,
the time we spent together
I need you in so many ways
Let me wish you Happy Grandparents’ Day

There are many moments in life when we feel lost.  Then, a beam of light gives us a sense of direction.  In such fashion has God helped us.  This song is a conversation with God thanking him for direction.  Original lyrics in Chinese.
