I guess that you could
say
That it's seen better days
It's been scuffed and scarred
And it's been stitched in such
a way
That makes me wander back
To golden days of way back when
To the field of green that lies
between
Today and way back when
You will find the written
names
Of the boys who play the game
Some who rose above the rest
Into that Hall of Fame
From grandfather to his son
Now it's in my hands you see
Some how he always knew
Just what that baseball means
to me
BRIDGE:
In my mind I'm going back
To the spring of 38'
With the Schoolboy on the mound
And Lou Gehrig at the plate
And in the stands a young man
sits
with his proud family
They're at the very heart
Of what that baseball means to
me
MUSICAL INTERLUDE:
It wasn't long ago
When my grandpa passed away
Though I know that he's still here with me
and this legacy he gave
When I play this song I know he's smiling down on me
Somehow he always knew just what that baseball means to me
I guess by now you know
Just what that baseball means.......to me
