I Wish Grandparents Didn't Have To Go

I remember being a young boy
With my grandpa by my side
Listening to Alan Jackson on repeat
Staying at his house every night
Having cookouts on the front porch
Country Music on the radio
If I could wish for anything at all
I'd wish that he'd never have to go
Chorus:
It's the times I spent with them
How close we've grown together
The hugs I'll miss more than anything
Why can't they stay with me forever
The laughs we share, ooh the memories
Everything they'll leave behind in me
Ooh I know someday they'll have to leave
Watch from above how big I'll grow
If only they could watch me get old here
Ooh I wish grandparents didn't have to go
I remember being a young man
With my grandma by my side
Watching her take care of our family
Staying at her house every night
How she'd cook her meals everyday
Hot food made right on the stove
If I could wish for anything at all
I'd wish that she'd never have to go
It's the times I spent with them
How close we've grown together
The hugs I'll miss more than anything
Why can't they stay with me forever
The laughs we share, ooh the memories
Everything they'll leave behind in me
Ooh I know someday they'll have to leave
Watch from above how big I'll grow
If only they could watch me get old here
Ooh I wish grandparents didn't have to go
I remember those days every day
With my grandparents by my side
Watching as time would go by
Staying at their house every night
My heart will miss the memories of them
Ooh I love them so much, I hope they know
I wish with all that they will leave in me
That grandparents didn't have to go
It's the times I spent with them
How close we've grown together
The hugs I'll miss more than anything
Why can't they stay with me forever
The laughs we share, ooh the memories
Everything they'll leave behind in me
Ooh I know someday they'll have to leave
Watch from above how big I'll grow
If only they could watch me get old here
Ooh I wish grandparents didn't have to go
