Somehow Grandpa knew
That soon he'd be going home
So he wrapped a pretty package
For the one he loved so long
His instructions were to open up
This 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 loved
And every Christmas
Her eyes would sparkle
As she'd open the locket up

Now it's been ten 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
To take that locket in her hand
And open it once more

There's a picture in a locket
Of a man that she dearly loved
And every Christmas
Her eyes would sparkle
As she'd open the locket up
There's a picture in a locket
Of a man that she dearly loved
And every Christmas
Her eyes would sparkle
As she'd open the locket up
As she'd open the locket up
