Grandpa smiles at us, talks as if he’s fine

He asks about us and how we are

I wish I could tell him the real truth

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

Grandpa’s cancer has brought him through a lot,

And he always has a smile for each of us

But I wonder how he feels about his diagnosis

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

Does he break down when he’s alone like I do?

He is stronger than me, of course

So maybe Grandpa doesn’t cry all that much

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles

The silent tears, the heartbreak, the sadness

Maybe those without a loved one

Don’t know that money can buy happiness

They say that money can’t buy happiness,

but if someone had a cure for cancer

I think that would bring a lot of smiles
