If you don't get in the water
You're never gonna
learn to swim
He said a snake is just
as scared of you
as you are of him
He could tell by the moon
when the fish would bite
Seems there was nothin'
that he didn't know
And as a kid I believed
'cause grandpa told me so
He talked daddy into
lettin' me have my first car
I thought I was really somethin'
till Becky Thompson
broke my heart
That first taste of love
nearly did me in
Gettin' over her was slow
And I knew someday I would
'Cause grandpa told me so
He said life is made
for you to live
The best love is the love
that you give
There'll be times when
you want to hold on
But you gotta let go
And I live by those words
'Cause grandpa told me so
I promised him
I wouldn't cry
when it was his time to leave
That's the only promise
I made him
I couldn't keep
He smiled from his bed
And said we'll meet again
Somewhere down the road
And I believe
'Cause grandpa told me so
He said life is made
for you to live
The best love is the love
that you give
There'll be times when
you want to hold on
But you gotta let go
And I live by those words
'Cause grandpa told me so
He said life is made
for you to live
The best love is the love
that you give
There'll be times when
you want to hold on
But you gotta let go
And I live by those words
'Cause grandpa told me so
Yeah I still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
And I still believe
Grandpa told me so
And I still believe
