When I was a young boy I could play any song
From rock & roll to country, I could play all night long
Grandpa would tell me, play that Rose of San Antone
And I´d just smile in my youth & say I´d learn it later on

Chorus
Here´s my San Antonio rose to you
The song you wanted me to learn for you
Whatever you go, this song´s for you
Here´s my San Antonio rose, & it goes out to you

Maybe I thought Grandpa would be around forever
It never crossed my mind how fast he could go
Soon I grew much older and so did he
Suddenly I realized how fast we grow old

Chorus

The day Grandpa left us was a day I can´t forget
Never did I learn his song
So if you´re listening from up above keep those
Tears from my eyes
And let me know that I´ve touched you so
High in the sky

Chorus
