(Mark Alan Springer/James Dean Hicks)"If you don't get in the water you're never gonna learn to swim"He said "a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him"He could tell by the moon when the fish would biteSeems there was nothing that he didn't knowAnd as a kid I believed 'cause Grandpa told me soHe talked Daddy into letting me have my first carI thought I was really something 'til Becky Thompson broke my heartThat first taste of love nearly did me inGetting over her was slowBut I knew someday I would 'cause Grandpa told me soHe said "life was made for you to live.The best love is the love that you give.There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go."And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me soI promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leaveThat's the only promise I made him I couldn't keepHe smiled from his bed and said "we'll meet againSomewhere down the road."And I believe 'cause Grandpa told me soHe said "life was made for you to live.The best love is the love that you give.There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go"And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me soHe said "life was made for you to live.The best love is the love that you give.There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go."And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me soYeah and I still believeGrandpa told me soGrandpa told me soI still believeGrandpa told me so
