The Locket

Somehow Grandpa knew

That soon he'd be going home

So he wrapped a pretty package

For the one he loved so long

His instructions were to open up

This gift on Christmas Eve

It was a lovely locket for the woman of his dreams

There's a picture in a locket

Of a man that she dearly loved

And every Christmas

Her eyes would sparkle

As she'd open the locket up

Now it's been ten years since that sad day

We told Grandpa goodbye

And Christmas isn't quite the same

Without him by her side

Grandma sure looks homesick

I've seen that look before

To take that locket in her hand

And open it once more

There's a picture in a locket

Of a man that she dearly loved

And every Christmas

Her eyes would sparkle

As she'd open the locket up

There's a picture in a locket

Of a man that she dearly loved

And every Christmas

Her eyes would sparkle

As she'd open the locket up

As she'd open the locket up
