V1

I hope that you can see me now, and that you’re proud of me

In everything I do or say, you are a part of me

I wish I had the chance to tell you, what I had done all day

I know you’d listen carefully, to all I had to say

V2

I thank you for the life you gave me, you’re with me everyday

And though we never got to meet, I miss you more each day

I see your pictures on the wall, I hear the stories told

Of happy times and family . . . You know I’m 9 years old!

Chorus

We never met, and yet I know you

And where I go, I know I feel you

And you should know, how much I miss you

And I regret . . . we never met

(Last chorus repeat last line as : And I love you, though we never met!)

V3

I guess that God had other plans, you left us all too soon

Just know I think of you each night, while praying in my room

The gifts you gave me I can feel, although I can’t repay

Your face in mine I always see, I thank the Lord each day

V4

We never met but I won’t forget, you live within me still

And in my heart you stay by me, I know you always will

My wish is I can grow to be, a man who’s just like you

And Grandpa there’s one thing I know, I know you miss me too
