[Gm] [Eb] I got an email from a fan.
The email goes like this.
Dear Mac, [Dm] my name is Stefan and I have [Eb] been a fan for 5 years.
He then goes on to say some nice things about my music, give me [Gm] some compliments on my videos,
[Eb] etc.
That's not important.
The important part of the email is this.
[Dm] My grandma Grace, [Eb] also known as Gam Gam, passed away a little over a year ago.
Her husband, [Gm] my grandpa [Bb] AJ, who has [Eb] been a poet and writer since he was a little boy,
wrote a beautiful poem about her that I wanted to [Dm] share with you.
[Eb] He's 84 years old and is not really the type of person that would [Gm] perform something like
this so I [Eb] was hoping you could perform it for him in a video.
I've included the lyrics [Dm] inside of this letter.
Please [Eb] email me if you have any questions.
Sincerely, Stefan.
[Bb] This is a story about my wife, [Eb] my sweet wife, her name is Grace.
I met her in 1953.
She had freckles on her face.
A [Dm] poodle skirt, it was navy blue.
[Eb] Saddle shoes, they were black and white.
I said, my name is AJ.
I'd like to take you [Gm] out tonight.
She said, you're very [F] handsome, sir.
[Eb] With your outfit, I'm impressed.
But a lady ain't a lady if she so easily [Dm] says yes.
I may change my mind one day and [Eb] let you take me on a date.
I said, your beauty is so boundless.
[Bb] You're so perfect.
I will wait until the very last day of my [Eb] life.
I swear it's true.
I'd die happy knowing I spent at least one day with you.
[F] Did she finally agree to see me?
[Eb] Why, yes she did.
We were married a year later.
We had two great kids.
We [Bb] were married a year later.
[Eb] We were unified as one.
We had a daughter named Nicole.
We had Anthony.
He's our son.
We [Dm] bought a tiny house with a yard.
I [Eb] had a dog.
His name was Mute.
I [Ebm] used to watch Grace Garden [Gm] every Sunday afternoon.
I used to watch the sun dance [Eb] off of her golden skin.
Her curly locks of hair bounced in the calm wind.
[Dm] She used to hold my hands [Eb] as our fingers intertwined.
She'd say, all I really want to do is kiss you one more time.
[Bb] All I really want to [Eb] do is kiss you one more time.
All I really want to do is kiss you one more time.
[Dm] She'd say, all I really want to [Eb] do is kiss you one more time.
Then I'd lock my lips with hers [Gm] and we would go somewhere divine.
We were married 10 years.
[Eb] We were married 20 years.
We were married 30 years.
Every day our love grew more.
[Dm] We were married 40 years.
[Eb] We were married 50 years.
We were married 60 years.
Then we were married 64.
[Gm] I used to hold her [Eb] as we danced inside our kitchen.
My life felt complete.
Not a single piece was missing.
[Dm] I fell in love so [Eb] many times throughout my life,
but every single time was with the same woman.
And she's my wife.
[Bb] Growing old with someone hurts.
[Eb] It's a process full of pain.
Sometimes the sunny days are full of black clouds and rain.
You need to have [Dm] kids and grandkids.
[Eb] I swear that it's the truth.
So as you approach your final days, you can still enjoy your youth.
[Bb] My sweet wife, her name was Grace.
She [Eb] started walking with the cane.
In her smile, I could see love, but in her eyes, I could see pain.
[Dm] I can't forget the day she told me [Eb] she could really see the end.
I told her underneath it all, she's always been my greatest friend.
[Bb] Every single night before we go [Eb] to sleep and close our eyes, she'd look at me.
She wouldn't say goodnight.
She'd say goodbye.
I [Dm] remember the last night she [Eb] went to sleep and closed her eyes.
We held each other one final time and said goodbye.
[Bb] And then she died.
[Eb]
[Dm] All your friends and family were [Eb] at the funeral in tears.
Even Anthony came.
You [Gm] hadn't spoken to him in years.
My [Bb] sweet wife, her name was Grace.
[Eb] How I miss you.
Oh, so much.
I still possess your memories, but I sure miss your touch.
[Dm] I still possess your memories, [Eb] but I sure miss your touch.
I know your soul was not inside the ashes or the dust.
[Gm] [Bb] All I want to [Eb] do is kiss you one more time.
All I really want to do is kiss you one more time.
[F] All I really want to [Eb] do is kiss you one more time.
I can't wait to see you in heaven, baby.
It'll be so divine.
[Gm] Love, AJ.
[Dm] Grace, I visit your grave every day.
I take flowers.
[Gm] I sit there and I talk to you.
And I know you hear me and I know you're talking back to me.
And I so much [D] appreciate everything that you did for me during [Gm] our lives.
I just want to kiss you one more [Eb] time.
