The Things You Told Me

The things you told me in just a little while,
wouldn've taken me a hundred years.
I can't imagine travelin these miles
without somebody like you here.

Chorus
Guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
cuz he loves them to much to let them stay,
guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
but I didn't know it was gonna be today.

I remember the places that we've been and the little things we used to do.
Looking back now thats when I began to realize that I'm alot like you

Guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
cuz he loves them to much to let them stay,
guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
but I didn't know it was gonna be today.

(interlude)

Friends and family help to pass the time,
while thumbing through pictures of you
feelin lonesome missin you and cryin,
but thats not what you'd want me to do.

Guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
cuz he loves them to much to let them stay,
guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
but I didn't know it was gonna be today.

guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home,
but I didn't know it was gonna be today

No, I didn't know it was gonna be today.


I'll miss you tomorrow, Grammy. I know you would have wanted to be there more than anyone else.

She'll be there. You just won't be able to see her. If you open your mind enough you will be able to feel her presence. She will not let a little thing like physical death stop her from seeing her grand daughter graduate. Congratulations on you Masters. Man, I feel old. I finished my Masters in the early 1980s. Enjoy life while you're young dear. Old father times runs a lot faster after you get out of college.

Have a nice day tomorrow.

:-)

I understand what you're dealing with. My grandmother passed away before she could see my college graduation. Not the same thing, but still.

I found it was nice to wear a piece of her jewelry (in her case, her sorority pin) to remind me. I also wore something from my other grandmother and my uncle, both of whom were supportive of my education.

By the way, I meant to wear the jewelry DURING the actual ceremony. I wore mine pined to one of my honor society ornaments.
