Life Was Good To Me

Written for our wonderful Grandma, Jacobi Henrika Van Happen.

If these are the last words I say to you
I want you to know,
wrinkles on your soul
you are my hero

A long life, they say that’s the way to go
with meaning and love
that’s how you know 2x

Patiently
Waiting by your bedside
For the last moment
So peacefully
Even though we knew
its still so damn hard to watch you leave
Watch the last time you’ll breathe
The last words youll speak
you say life was good to me

We were all once young, blinded by the world
then we grew old, grew strong and bold
We learned it from you Holding hands, you tell me your storiesYour greatest love, but he’s up above
He’s waiting for you

Patiently
Waiting by your bedside
For the last moment
So peacefully
Even though we knew
its still so damn hard to watch you leave
Watch the last time you’ll breathe
The last words youll speak
you say life was good to me

You say I’m ready to go
You say I’m getting old
I’m ready to see your grandpa again
