Turn up the lights so we can see

The red-head grandson on your knee
F                          C
Better hold him while you can
                   Bb
He'll be walking soon

Eb               Ab

Eb                 F
Down the old road behind your house

To show him the sun on the autumn 
  C
fields
              Bb            F
To smell the wind-blown alfalfa
F                             
To look out where the geese are 
    C
rising
           Bb
For their southern flight
Eb         Ab           Db
Circling arrows in the sky
            Eb               F
Above the ditches and the cottonwood

[Chorus]
Bb    C       F

There'll be stories to tell
Bb          C               Dm

F                            C
The boy is laughing on your knee

Hold him up so we can see
F                            C
Hold him high because we're lifted
          Bb
In his laughter

As you walk these heavy Miles
