Grandpa's 80th: Warm Acoustic Folk Birthday Song

Eighty years of sunrise on the lake

Early mornings with a fishing line to cast

Three old jokes you tell at every table

And somehow we still laugh at every last

Happy birthday, Grandpa Leo

Here is to the road you have walked

All the stories and the lessons

All the dawns and all the talks

Raise a glass and sing it slow

Happy birthday, Grandpa Leo

You taught me how to tie a steady knot

And how to wait when nothing seems to bite

Your hands are older but your heart is not

You are still the one who makes it feel all right

Happy birthday, Grandpa Leo

Here is to the road you have walked

All the stories and the lessons

All the dawns and all the talks

Raise a glass and sing it slow

Happy birthday, Grandpa Leo
