Select language to translate this lyric
When she got the news that morning
it brought her to her knees
Its too soon to take him from me
lord i beg you please
'cause i just need one more chance
To hold him again
I cant imagine life here on my own
Born into a broken world in 1933
The little town in illinois
there wasnt much to see
then he left school to go to work
and make a better life
then met the girl for 50 years
He'd proudly call his wife
They didnt waste no time at all
To start a family
He worked for everything they had
with 7 mouths to feed
And when the times got roughest
He'd always fight to win
And if he had te chance i know
he'd do it all again
She said when you get to heaven
I know that youll be free
I still have some miles to go
But save a seat for me
She never thought thought she'd see that day
That he wouldnt be around
and even though hes gone away
hes always smiling down
I talked to her just yesterday
When i gave her a call
I'll see you in a day or two
I love you, grandma
And someday you'll be in heaven
Holding your Jamie
And i still have some miles to go
but save a seat for me
