You had wrinkled hands full of stories
The washed clothes and it comes to my memory
How you used to rock me after dinner

You had a serene, calm, and always lively face
And my small body, but so emotional
I can't remember you without crying

You were from my soul, from my house
I was your rib
I slept in your room, under your wing
Warm as the flame of a candle
And now I don't have you, I just remember you
And I like to sing to you
Save a little corner of your cloud
For one day I'll live there

You had a home-like body
And a smell of childhood
The eyes of the sea, and today from a distance
If I close my eyes I'm still there
And lying in your lap the world was mine
I only have the consolation
That there in heaven
There is a cloud named grandfather

You were from my soul, from my house
I was your rib
I slept in your room, under your wing
Warm as the flame of a candle
And now I don't have you, I just remember you
And I like to sing to you
Save a little corner of your cloud
For one day I'll live there

There's a place near the sun
Where I'm going to find you
There's a place near the sun
Where I'm going to find you

You were from my soul, from my house
I was your rib
I slept in your room, under your wing
Warm as the flame of a candle
And now I don't have you, I just remember you
And I like to sing to you
Save a little corner of your cloud
For one day I'll live there

And now I don't have you, I just remember you
And I like to sing to you
Save a little corner of your cloud
For one day I'll live there
