Beautiful blue eyes with serenity of the sea,
Reflection of the skies on a bright and sunny day,
My little hand in yours, my protector and my guide,
Don't walk too fast, Granddad, for I am by your side.

My eyes are your eyes and your heart is my heart,
We share so much likeness we were never apart,
You would tell me your stories of the Vietnam War,
I felt all that pain as the enemies kept score.

Big strong shoulders not just to carry me but to carry the world too,
The strength inside of you for all you went through,
The peace you gave me knowing you would always love me,
And the kindness and happiness you gave me and I gave you.

No fear do you have or grudges do you hold, my big strong hero
So brave and so bold, a firm hand to hold me, a firm word shows the way
Your little girl forever; it's the way it will always stay

The bond that we have I have never seen or felt before
My face would light up when you would walk through the door
You tucked me in bed then turned off the light but I wasn't scared
Of the shadows in the night

For I knew it was you keeping watch over me, no harm and no badness
Would you let me see, safe in your arms untouchable it seems
After God took you away it was all in my dreams
And all that is left are my memories of you
I know you are with me and in my heart; I'm with you too.

Beautiful blue eyes with serenity of the sea,
Reflection of the sky's reflections of me,
My little hand in yours, my protector and my guide,
Don't walk too fast, Granddad, for I am by your side.

Best friends should never have secrets
But I keep this one from you
Don't want you to think so badly of me
Our friendship is deep and true

The last 10 years of my life
Is the best it's ever been
We've laughed and cried together
We've made an excellent team

But I have this dark deep secret
The words I cannot speak
The way he likes to touch me
Sometimes when you're asleep

I lay there as if I'm dead
So he doesn't think I know
It's easier to deal with that way
He treats me like a hoe

I know how much you love him
The long years you've spent together
Can't bear to see you're heart ripped out
Not now not ever

So I'm truly sorry to hurt you
It's best if I don't say
I want to keep my best friend forever
Don't want to loose her this way

I want to thank you dearly
For being my best friend
Like the sister I never had
Hope we're together to the end

I always try and avoid him
So I don't make this any worse
But he knows what he's doing to us
It's disgusting and perverse

Best friends should never have secrets
But I keep this one from you
Don't want you to think so badly of me
Our friendship is deep and true
