THIS WAS WRITTEN BY RICKY IN TRIBUTE TO HIS
GRANDMA ZEGELIEN WHO PASSED AWAY
MARCH 10, 2000
Note: Ricky put this to music and it was played at Ricky's funeral
This is one of two songs that he wrote and put to music
"LOOK AT THE SKY"
GRANDMA, WHAT'S GOING ON? WE MISS YOU!
AS I SET BACK AND THINK OF MEMORIES AS A KID
I THINK ABOUT THINGS US KIDS DID.
I REMEMBER WHEN I WASA ABOUT 13 AND J WAS 10
WE USE TO WRESTLE, AND YOU'D SAY DON'T DO IT AGAIN
SEE, THINGS LIKE THAT STICK IN MY MIND
MEMORIES LIKE THAT I'LL NEVER LEAVE BEHIND.
AS TIME WENT BY, I LIVED IN YOUR HOUSE
LET'S GO TO '96
I FOUND MY SOON TO BE SPOUSE
YOU'D TALK ABOUT YOUR DOLLS, SHE WAS JUST LIKE YOU
THERE WAS A MILLION THINGS, GRANDMA I WANTED TO SAY
I DON'T NEED TO CAUSE, YOU WATCH AND LISTEN EVERYDAY
I SIT AND CRY SOMETIMES WHEN I'M HOME ALONE
OR WHEN I CALL AND NO ONE PICKS UP THE PHONE
YOU CAN TAKE EVERYTHING, JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE
OR DON'T HANG THE PHONE UP RIGHT AND GIVE ME A FUNNY FACE.
REMEMBER WHEN I BOUGHT YOU CREME SODA
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BEER
THEN IT BROUGHT LAUGHS, NOT IT BRINGS TEARS
ALWAYS WORRIED WHEN I CAME HOME LATE AND SUCH
HEY GRANDMA, I NEVER TOLD YOU, BUT I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
YA SEE, ITS THINGS LIKE THAT A MAKE ME CRY,
AT NIGHT I LOOK AT THE SKY AND ASK
GOD WHY?????
(CHORUS X 2)
GRANDMA THIS MAY BE NOTHIN BUT A SONG
BUT HERE IS WHERE YOU BELONG
SEE EVERY DAYS HARD, NOT SEEING YOUR FACE
NO ONE IN THE WORLD, COULD EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE
DAY AFTER DAY, ITS STILL HARD TO BELIEVE
I ONLY HAVE A QUESTION, WHY'D YOU HAVE TO LEAVE
I HATE THAT Y OU NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO SAY BYE
SO I LOOK AT THE SKY AND I ASK
GOD WHY????
