Shined bright like the sun

Lyrics

Well, he was born in a small town, where the folks knew his name
He worked hard every day, just to play the game
He'd give you his shirt off his back, if you needed it, that's true
He was my best friend, my hero, and my rock, too

He had a heart of gold, shined bright like the sun
A country boy at heart, his work was never done
He'd always lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on
My grandfather, my hero, he's forever gone

He would tell stories of the past
He taught me right from wrong, and how to make things last
He'd always have a smile, a joke to make you laugh
He was the best man I knew, from the very start to the very last

He had a heart of gold, shined bright like the sun
A country boy at heart, his work was never done
He'd always lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on
My grandfather, my hero, he's forever gone

I miss him every day, his laugh, his smile
The way he'd always make things right, after a while
He's watching over me now, from up above
My guardian angel, my guiding love

He had a heart of gold, shined bright like the sun
A country boy at heart, his work was never done
He'd always lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on
My grandfather, my hero, he's forever gone
