You had suffered for so long,
so it was your time to finally go on
Everybody wished you luck on the way,
although we all wanted you to stay
But we knew you were going to have it better up there
and think about all the times that we had shared
About the times when I sat in your knee
and in your eyes I then could see
That little star, shining bright
that could take away all the night

When you left us, you didn't get your gloria and wings
because they had always been your favourite things
And now I know I don't have to run away and hide,
because you are walking by my side
Oh, Grandpa, now I finally see
that you're my guardian angel watching over me.
