What I lack in musical talent I make up for with a willingness to sing and play guitar anyway.

Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa!

80 Years of Memories

1929 the whole nation was depressed
And Hoover couldnt save us from our economic mess
But you were also born that year and so life was still good
You did not end the Great Depression, but you did all that you could (as a baby)

CHORUS
80 years of memories
80 times to tell you Happy Birthday, 80 times around the sun
80 years of family, and
80 times to share the joy and laughter that you brought to everyone

1953, the Cold War came our way
And Ike was building highways all across the USA
But concrete was not the only firm foundation that we lay
Because it also was the year in which you had your wedding day

REPEAT CHORUS

1956 was when you started to have sons
1980 they all started to get married one by one
And then they had their own kids and the cycle just goes on
And it ends with me here at the piano singing you this song

80 years of eating, breathing, and some other stuff
It is more than biological because of who we love

REPEAT CHORUS (less info)
