D Bm
F#m G A
[Verse 1]~
D G
I met a grandfather and all of his children
A D
And as we were talking,..!! a tear filled his eye!
D G
He smiled at my child; I handed her to him
A D
And just for a moment he went back in time!
[Verse 2]~
D G
He remembered the dreams of having a family,..!!
A D
Of holding the ones that God sent his way!
D G
The joy they would bring him to make his heart larger!
A G A
Then he looked in my eyes and said
[Chorus]~
D Bm
Turn around slowly! Time is a racer!
F#m G A
The wink of an eye takes you from here to there!
