    I have been writing lyrics for about 20 years and decided to get some feedback on some.
    This first one is a song I wrote about my grandfather.
    I my be looking for some music collaboration also.

    "That Chair"

    His picture hangs upon my wall
    In the livingroom and down the hall
    He gave me all the wisdom he could spare
    Summer weekends we spent fishin'
    Sittin' by the pond just wishin'
    Time flyin' by but we just didn't care
    Fireflies that we were catchin'
    Meant mosquito bites that we were scratchin'
    And his late night stories gave me quite a scare
    I'll always remember Grampa in that chair...

    CHORUS:

    That chair was made with Grampa's hands
    He made it with specific plans
    The day that he heard I was to be born
    Crafted from the finest oak
    Past his pipe and through the smoke
    He seen every detail it adorned
    Now all I can do is sit and stare
    And remember all the memories of Grampa in that chair

    Well he also taught me how to throw
    Taught me all I'd need to know
    Through me he tried correcting his mistakes
    He bought me my first pocket knife
    And we whittled to the facts of life
    He seen me off when I went on my first dates
    Oh our late night talks boy we were such a pair
    I'll always remember Grampa in that chair

    CHORUS:

    That chair was made with Grampa's hands
    He made it with specific plans
    The day that he heard I was to be born
    Crafted from the finest oak
    Past his pipe and through the smoke
    He seen every detail it adorned
    Now all I can do is sit and stare
    And remember all the memories of Grampa in that chair

    TAG:

    Well Grampa passed a year ago today
    And the memories don't go away
    I often find myself looking over to that chair
    And yes I still see my Grampa sitting there...

    CHORUS:

    That chair was made with Grampa's hands
    He made it with specific plans
    The day that he heard I was to be born
    Crafted from the finest oak
    Past his pipe and through the smoke
    He seen every detail it adorned
    Now all I can do is sit and stare
    And remember all the memories of Grampa in that chair

    Yes I'll live by all the memories of Grampa in that chair
