Somehow Grandpa knew that
he would soon be going home
So he wrapped a pretty package
for the one he loved so long
His instructions were to open
up his gift on Christmas Eve
It was a lovely locket for
the woman of his dreams

There’s a picture in a locket
Of a man that she dearly loves
And every Christmas
her eyes would sparkle
As she’d opened the locket up

Now it’s been 10 years since that
sad day we told Grandpa goodbye
And Christmas isn’t quite the
same without him by her side
Grandma sure looks homesick
I’ve seen that look before
She takes the locket in her hand
and open it once more
(open it once more)

There’s a picture in a locket
Of a man that she dearly loves
And every Christmas
her eyes would sparkle
As she’d opened the locket up

There’s a picture in a locket
Of a man that she dearly loves
And every Christmas
her eyes would sparkle
As she’d opened the locket up
She’d open the locket up
