The Locket

Somehow, Grandpa knew that he would soon 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 loves
And every Christmas, her eyes would sparkle
As she opened the locket up

It's been ten years since that sad day we told Grandpa goodbye
Christmas ain't been quite the same without him by her side
Grandma sure looks homesick and I've seen that look before
She takes the locket in her hand and opens it once more

There's a picture in a locket
Of a man that she dearly loves
And every Christmas, her eyes would sparkle
As she opened the locket up

Every Christmas, her eyes would sparkle
As she opened the locket up
