Raise a Glass to Grandad Jim

[Verse] Grandad Jim he used to roam Blackpool sands beer in hand Talking dogs like old friends swapping tales by the fire Antiques and stories worn with age acting dreams he inspired Man of many talents lived life with desire [Verse 2] He'd spin round the ballroom charm in his gaze Barking orders in the yard with his four-legged brigade Laughing loud with a pint memories couldn't fade February took him but his spirit here stays [Chorus] Raise a glass sing a song lift your hearts tonight For Grandad Jim in Blackpool shining so bright In the midst of dogs and beer his spirit we ignite Living in our laughter under soft moonlight [Bridge] Scripts he'd write on paper with shaky hands Breeding dogs like stories running through the lands Beer in the cellar secrets tall as stands Antiques in the attic revealing his life's strands [Verse 3] Old tales he'd recount of Blackpool's gleaming past From the theatre to flea markets those moments passed so fast His smile a reflection in the pint glass we clasp His legacy forever in stories that outlast [Chorus] Raise a glass sing a song lift your hearts tonight For Grandad Jim in Blackpool shining so bright In the midst of dogs and beer his spirit we ignite Living in our laughter under soft moonlight
