Grandma

I lost my grandma on 20102010. She was a very very very special lady in my life, and i have loved and will always love her!!! Writing this song is just a way for me to express my emotions --> cos i'm never really good at that otherwise!

-----

I held your hand in mine
As you took your last few breadths
You may never know it
But how can i forget?

I’ve never been good with emotions
And may not have expressed my love enough
But you knew how much i loved you
Through everything good and bad

I kiss your forehead on this extraordinary day
Cos you've said your goodbye and had your last say

Oh my angel I’ll miss you so
I still remember the days when i was four
How you taught me to be strong and to never let go
All the cookies that you baked
And the mistakes you explained i should never make
I must have troubled you as a little girl
But oh grandma, you were the bestest in this world

Forgive me for not thinking before
Couldn’t I have written this a little sooner?
But i’m sure you can still hear me
Cos you promised you’ll always be there

So as I stand before you and watch your eyes close
I won’t cry, cos I haven’t lost hope

But my angel I’ll miss you so
I still remember the days when i was four
How you taught me to be strong and to never let go
All the cookies that you baked
And the mistakes you explained i should never make
I must have troubled you as a little girl
Oh grandma, you were the bestest in this world

And when i think of you
I’ll always remember
That smiling face with no teeth
You were always the best to me

Oh my angel I’ll miss you so
I still remember the days when i was four
How you taught me to be strong and to never let go
All the cookies that you baked
And the mistakes you explained i should never make
I must have troubled you as a little girl
But oh grandma, you were the bestest in this world
