Happy Birthday Grandpa
written on a cake
Today my family came to celebrate
Life flew by like an Oklahoma wind
It’s the 9th of November
without Rosie again
Every candle lit,
counts a year I’ve lived,
it all feels like yesterday
My grandkids sing,
smoke billowing,
and I pray
Lord
I hope there’s a heaven
Cause I need an afterlife
Maybe I could spend
another 80 years
with the faith I thought I’d find
I hope there’s a heaven
Cause I need a little more time
My Rosie said she’d wait for me
somewhere on the other side
I figured there’d come a day
when I’d have no more questions
But who knew I’d turn 87, still
Hoping there’s a heaven
I found a Jesus figurine
in a box of toys
I stole from church
when I was just a boy
Must be awfully hard living life
Always sculpted
on the cross where he die
I wore my clip on tie,
combed my hair just right,
made my Mama proud
Church bells rings,
all the people sing,
O how sweet the sound
I hope there’s a heaven
Cause I need an afterlife
Maybe I could spend an eternity
with the faith
I’ve longed to find
I hope there’s a heaven
Cause I need a little more time
My Rosie said she’d wait for me
somewhere on the other side
I figured there’d come a day
when I’d have no more questions
But who knew I’d turn 87, still
Hoping there’s a heaven
Cause I need an afterlife
Maybe I could spend an eternity
with the faith
I’ve longed to find
I hope there’s a heaven
Cause I need a little more time
I’ve got to meet my Rosalyn
somewhere on the other side
I know my day will come,
so could you answer me
one question
Is there really a place
for second chances
Lord don’t let me count down
my last seconds
hoping there’s a heaven
