GRANDAD (THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM SAY)
(Danny Slevin)


Recorded by: Foster & Allen; Brendan Shine and others.




There's a new love in my life
Not a lover, not a wife
But I know this truly is a love affair
The new apple of my eye
Is my daughter's little boy
And my world's a brighter place because he's there

I love to watch him run and play
He makes the most of every day
In a world of secret friends that he's just found
Where dragons wander free
And where pirates sail the sea
Where Spiderman and Batman call around

He's a pint sized Action Man
And he's always got a plan
He only kills the baddies if they're really bad
Ah, but in my heart I sang
The day he let me join his gang
And the first time that I heard him say "Grandad"

(Instrumental Break)

He's a rascal, he's a pest
He won't ever let you reat
Sometimes I think he runs on Duracell
But I wouldn't change a thing
For the treasures of a king
I just love him and he loves me as well

He's a pint sized Action Man
And he's always got a plan
He only kills the baddies if they're really bad
Ah, but in my heart I sang
The day he let me join his gang
And the first time that I heard him say "Grandad"
Ah, the first time that I heard him say "Grandad"
