GRANDPA 作詞＆作曲&獻唱 洪思瑞 阿公.....這首歌是唱給你..我很想念你 growing up I always knew winter came and with the snow you would leave the hot and humid show up at our door a cap covered your head and a suitcase in your hands heavy with life’s stories bound in paper rubber bands a child of the countryside two countries in your mind your look was far away but your eyes were always kind you were black and white photos bicycles and red kimonos chinese satellite tv shows i am remembering all those times you would slap our little behinds tryin' to get us straight before we straight in our minds and you'd walk two miles to the market in the cold to bring back white radish that the vendor had sold lookin' back i wish i took the chance for you to be told that you were never really old you were never really old you were never really old you were calm as a psalm perpetual meditation you took in the world appreciation of creation i remember your shoes like i remember your hands embodiment of gentleness you were the greater man ripples slowly spread and reach towards the shore affecting those around you you affected me more. ripples slowly spread and reach towards the shore affecting those around you you affected me more you you affected me more. a man's soft embrace as he holds his grandchild is that of childlike wonder pure and undefiled the skin starts to sag and the hair starts thinning he holds between his hands new life that's just beginning. and there's nothing too scary bout the moment when we're dead but it terrifies me to think of all the words unsaid. for in our silence there are poems there are songs and there are rhymes we would sing them all if we weren’t running out of time and I’m sorry that I never got to sing my song to you but I think we’re gonna be just fine. I say I’m sorry that I never got to sing my song to you but I think we’re gonna be just fine. a voice carries a tune through the room but you were never a great singer I swayed to the rhythm as you would crack your fingers as you watch the world content in your place a smile so wide takes over your face and you remind me of gentle falling snow to this day I don’t understand why you had to go. Cause you were calm as a psalm perpetual meditation you took in the world appreciation of creation i remember your shoes like i remember your hands embodiment of gentleness you were the greater man ripples slowly spread and reach towards the shore affecting those around you you affected me more. ripples slowly spread and reach towards the shore affecting those around you you affected me more. memories of slow steps you would take as you would walk matching the slow words of wisdom you would talk memories of the smell of grease and hair oil glistenin’ on your head like aluminum foil memories of going to Taiwan when we would meet memories of us out and all the favorite food that we would eat memories of your laugh when my brother would climb on you memories of you in our home do you remember too? memories of riding on the bus through Taipei memories of visiting your old home in the country memories of the way you would talk with my mother memories of you are like memories of no other memories of the weekends when you’d take us to the mall memories of children hand in hand with grandpa memories of your flannel shirts and your dark rimmed glasses memories of memories these things they will outlast us yes these memories they outlast us Cause you were calm as a psalm perpetual meditation you took in the world appreciation of creation i remember your shoes like i remember your hands embodiment of gentleness you were the greater man ripples slowly spread and reach towards the shore affecting those around you you affected me more. ripples slowly spread and reach towards the shore affecting those around you you affected me more. 從小長大你每天 都走在我們旁邊 大微笑在你的臉 永遠年輕都不變 你是我母親的爸 冬天都來我們家 跟你一起不會怕 一頭光光沒頭髮 洪思瑞思遠思峰 都很愛我們阿公 現在希望聽你說 你們真是太倥倥 匆忙生活真的滿 你現在休息一點 思慕記憶太懷念 阿公 我們很思念 阿公 我們很思念 要好好照顧自己
