Drunken Dolly „That Kiss“ – 2016-06-12

I’m standing in front of my granddad’s house
He opens up, and gives me a smile
I say, hey old man, you’re looking great today
I hope, when at your age, I’ll look half as great as you
His smile fades away and he says young man
Growing old ain’t as great as you’d think it would be
Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen some wonderful things
I’ve seen a little girl turn into your mother
And a little boy, into you

It’s your friends, your mates, your comrades
But mostly your wife you’ll miss
Now i sit here, thinking of them
How they all came to pass
It’s the nights we would drink,
The nights of fun
But mostly I miss that kiss
I miss that kiss

He told me the stories about a wonderful time
About a time with his friends
The mischievous he’d done and the pranks he pulled
The old man, had me laughing all day long
Then his face turned sad, with a tear in his eye
And I know that he’s thinking of her
My granddad, he lost his wife
The one who always stood by
The one that he now misses

It’s your friends, your mates, your comrades
But mostly your wife you’ll miss
Now i’m sitting here, thinking of them
How they all came to pass
It’s the nights we would drink,
The nights of fun
But mostly I miss that kiss
I miss that kiss
