Grandma's House

The house stands too silent with weeds overgrown the windows are broken and bare

But he holds all the mem'ries my childhood has known

For my own sweet grandma lived there

And when I was lonely to grandma I'd run and she'd hold me close for a while

One flick of a kiss she could turn on the sun and dry all my tears with one smile

My grandma's old rocker still stands in the hall of the house that's so shabby and old

But in that humble house between those battered walls

Was more happiness than it could hold

Then when I grew older it came grandma's time to leave all the world and its care

He needed a grandma and so he took mine to love all those children up there

The porch now is saggy the paint is all gone it stands all alone without care

But it holds all the mem'ries my childhood has known

For my own sweet grandma lived there
