Tess Henley - Pompi's Song

My grandpa, "Pompi," was an orphaned child who became a University of Washington basketball player and a real influence on me. He grew extremely sick with melanoma skin cancer last year. After visiting him one day, my sister and I decided to write a song in his honor to express how important and amazing he was to us. He truly was the meaning of humble, so wise and soft spoken, and always a true joy to be around. I was later flattered when my friend's dad decided to use this song for the father-daughter dance at his daughter's wedding...I guess the lyrics can be meaningful to other people too. I'll miss him forever. POMPI'S SONG (LYRICS)Play me a song so sweet.Sing me a melody.Make it simpleSo that I can put it on repeat.And when I hear your song,I'll be singing along. So don't worry,'Cause it will be it will be, you and me.He told me to be just me.He taught me so graciously.He showed me that there's only one way to live,And that's humbly. Gentle embodiment,A man who was heaven sent.And although he is not here,I hear him whisper in my ear.Repeat ChorusHe showed me how real love lasts.He taught me to learn from my past.He told me that he'd always be there for me,No questions asked.Gentle embodiment,A man who was heaven sent.And although he is not here,I hear him whisper in my ear.Repeat ChorusBless you. Love you, See you in the Morning, Pompi.
