Kirstyn Hippe | LIVE ON - Original Song | Kirstyn Hippe @xKirstynHippe | Uploaded March 2011 | Updated October 2024, 14 minutes ago.
LYRICS BELOW. Please read description!
This is a song I wrote for my great grandfather's funeral (I also performed it there). It kind of just goes through some different memories that I have of him, so you might not fully understand the meaning of the verses! I hope you enjoy it, and please tell me what you think. :)
V.1
The sun's out, the sky's blue
Everything's alright cause I'm here with you
With nothing but a hot dog, knife, and paper plate
I'm four years old and simple pleasures
Still compose my life's endeavors
Feeding dogs and petting cows still puts a smile on my face.
I look at you, you smile back
Nothing in this world could put a crack in my mood today
I'm 15 now, not much has changed, but I still look back on those days
C.
Cause here's the thing about memories, they live on
Even when the person that you love is gone
Forever in your heart they have a place
Permanently ingrained in the smile on your face
V.2
Four years later, I'm with you,
On the couch, running through your hair
With a comb that I stole from your pocket
Mess it up, smooth it down,
It's a game that's been around
For as long as I can remember
It's times like these when I miss
Being a carefree little kid on her grandfather's shoulders
Cause I'm 15 now, and a lot has changed,
But I still look back on those days...
C.
Cause here's the thing about memories, they live on
Even when the person that you love is gone
Forever in your heart they have a place
Permanently ingrained in the smile on your face
B.
I'm 15 now, and a lot has changed, cause nothing stays the same
Things rearrange over time on this mountain called life
That we have to climb
C.
Cause here's the thing about memories, they live on
Even when the person that you love is gone
Forever in your heart they have a place
Permanently ingrained in the smile on your face
C.2
So don't let death and sadness come between
The happy song that we were meant to sing
All we need to push through the struggles that we face
Are faith, hope, dignity and grace
C.
Cause here's the thing about memories, they live on
Even when the person that you love is gone
Forever in your heart they have a place
Permanently ingrained in the smile on your face
Hope you enjoyed it! :)
The chords are C-F-C-G throughout the whole thing.
