Hey, it's starting
Yeah, c'mon
What a perfect afternoon
To listen to my Granpop's uke
You know I never got to hear him play
But he'd be glad to see it put to use
I wonder if he hears these strings
I wonder if he hears these tunes
You know nan is lovely as can be
You sure know how to pick a view
Man it's such a perfect day
He wouldn't want it any other way
He'd be sippin' on some sweet iced tea
And probably thinking of a new story
The more I get to know your girl
The more I get she misses you
But she would never change her mind
She'd carry it again for you
I woke up thankful today, thankful for may
Thankful for the good vibes flowing in my veins
Thankful for peace in the air that I breathe
Thankful God smiles when he sees you with me
I woke up thankful today, thankful for may
Thankful for the good vibes flowing in my veins
Thankful for peace in the air that I breathe
Thankful God smiles when he sees you with me
Yeah, oh
When he sees you with me
Cause he sees you with me
