50 years ago today
You set out on the highway

50 years ago today
You said goodbye

You were father to my dad
And even though we never met
Your life has shaped who I am
And the days go by
The days go by

The journey that your life has been
Started out in a small town when
The darkness started creeping in
And war was just on horizon

The family settled in old New York
The busy streets
The bustling port

Saved their money and moved up north
The Bronx became their home

Autumn leaves bring memories
The haunted past and reveries
So close I can hear them breathe
The ghost of where we came

And when it came your time to serve
Overseas, you saw the world
With a heart of gold
And a steady hand
And the days went by
The days went by

And even though we never met
Your life has shaped who I am
And we are who we are today because
Of decisions that you and Grandma made
The bond that was
Jean and gabe

Sandy was first
And Joel last
With Roy in the middle
And now 50 years have passed
Nothing more
And nothing less
Still the days go by
The days go by

And now I have a little girl
And for me she is the world

One day I'll tell her from where she came
And someday she'll know your name

Blue eyes and golden hair
Headstrong and skin so fair
Just like her Great Grandpa Gabe

50 years ago today
You set out on the highway
50 years ago today
You said goodbye

But we remember the life you lived
The sacrifices that you made

We won't forget you
We won't forget you
Grandpa Gabe

50 years ago today
You set out on the highway
