Lyrics:

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
