Grandsons - Yusuf Islam

Wish I could watch them jumping 'round

Calling names

Kicking cans

And playing tag

Hiding in every place

Wish I could see them now

And even join in their games

How different life would be

But I’ve got no time

For silly chitty chatter

I’m on my way

'Cause while my body’s still on and I’m not getting better

Time’s passing away

'Cause I got a thing about seeing my grandson grow

Wish I could buy them toys

Rubber balls and trains

Watch and see how tall they grow

Bigger day by day

Oh I want nothing more

Than to see them laugh and play

Life would be so different then

But I got no time

For silly chitty chatter

I’m on my way

'Cause while my body’s still on and my mind doesn’t matter

I’m going to pray

'Cause I got a thing about seeing my grandson grow

Have we got no time

For silly chitty chatter?

I’m on my way

'Cause while my body’s still on and my mind doesn’t matter

I’m hoping to stay

'Cause I got a thing about seeing my grandson grow
