I WONDER

I helped my Grandfather
In the wheat fields

During harvest, every year
When I was young

He was everything I wanted to be like

We cleared those dusty fields
From dawn to dusk

He never complained
 I followed suit, and did the same

I desired his pride
In how hard I tried

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Could he see the love

When he looked in my eyes

 

~~~*Chorus*~~~

When life loses its shine

I stop the hands of time

And remember every day that gleamed

When we were tilling up the land

Slapping backs and shaking hands

When a man was what he seemed to be

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Did he know how much he meant to me

~~*~~
I think about those times
We spent together

And all the endless talks
Of future plans

And I wonder if he knew
How much I loved him

Or that he is the reason
That I am

The man I am

Yeah, I wonder…

 

~~~*Chorus*~~~

When life loses its shine

I stop the hands of time

And remember every day that gleamed

When we were tilling up the land

Slapping backs and shaking hands

When a man was what he seemed to be

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Did he know how much he meant to me
