I never got to know my daddy He left when I was barely three But a man stepped in and moved some mountains He became the world to me My grandfather, he stood so steady Strong and close to perfect, they would say I wish my memory wasn’t broken I’d give anything to go back to those days I carry what I can’t remember In a heart that never forgot Two souls that loved me unconditionally That’s everything I’ve got One big hero, one small angel One wore boots and one had paws They were there before I knew I needed Giving love without a pause My grandfather, my big protector My sweet Chewy, my little light My two heroes, always with me In my left side and my right Then came Chewy, oh my goodness That silly bread thief, made me laugh through every tear He’d steal a loaf and hide his treasure In the couch cushions and pillows everywhere He was there in my darkest midnight Through the pregnancy, the storms, the unknown years Now he lives inside a silver charm On my wrist to keep him near I carry what I can’t remember In a heart that never forgot Two souls that loved me unconditionally That’s everything I’ve got One big hero, one small angel One wore boots and one had paws They were there before I knew I needed Giving love without a pause My grandfather, my big protector My sweet Chewy, my little light My two heroes, always with me In my left side and my right I know one day I’ll see you both again Somewhere beyond this life we’re living in Till then I feel you sitting right beside me Watching over me, watching over me One big hero, one small angel One wore boots and one had paws They were there before I knew I needed Giving love without a pause My grandfather, my big protector My sweet Chewy, my little light My two heroes, always with me In my left side, in my right Always with me In this life Go find your loaves of bread up there, Chewy… Save me a slice.
