Cole

Since the day you were born, I’ve been holding you close

You’re the boy that my spirit has cherished the most

I remember the weekends, you staying right here

With me and your Papaw, just having you near

We did everything together, just the three of us

Wrapped up in the warmth of a home built on trust

Oh, Cole, don't you think I’ve forgotten about you

I could never do that, no, my love is too true

I love you, my grandson, with all of my heart

Even though life has pulled us apart

You and your Papaw, you were my whole life

And you're still the light that gets me through the night

Then the world turned cold without a warning sign

We lost him so sudden, left the good days behind

Our hearts were just broken, shattered in pain

And after the sorrow, nothing felt the same

Now we've gone separate ways, I rarely see your face

But I need you to know nothing takes your place

Oh, Cole, don't you think I’ve forgotten about you

I could never do that, no, my love is too true

I love you, my grandson, with all of my heart

Even though life has pulled us apart

You and your Papaw, you were my whole life

And you're still the light that gets me through the night

We have so many memories, so many special days

No amount of distance could wash them away

I know that it's hard, and the silence is deep

But the bond that we made is a promise I keep

I will always be here, standing right by your name

My love for you, boy, will remain just the same

So Cole, don't you think I’ve forgotten about you

I could never do that, no, my love is too true

I love you, my grandson, with all of my heart

Even though sorrow has pulled us apart

You and your Papaw, you were my whole life

I will love you forever, you're still my life
