Lyrics

by Craig Brenner

Life was new for me if not for you.
You traveled far; someday I too will learn all the things you've been through.
You are a queen, queen of a kingdom within my dreams.
Grandma, I hope you hear me now, and I'm prayin' that I haven't waited for too long to tell you all the things that you have meant to me.

Love, thank you for showing me the way known by too few.
I still feel your presence everyday, and I love you.

Waiting on us, it never made you fuss.
You carried on; you were so strong, so long...how quickly time has gone.
I learned from you so many things that are really true.
I think your greatest gift to me: everyday I got from you a love for family so big it's great enough to share with all humanity.

Love, thank you for showing me the way known by too few.
I still feel your presence everyday, and I love you.

Time goes by, suddenly I am grown.
Like you I'll try, until I die, to nurture seeds I have sown.
Of thee I sing, full of the promise of early spring.
Now that it's my turn to give, I must open up my heart and offer these few simple words in praise of you and of the life that you lived.

Love, thank you for showing me the way known by too few.
I still feel your presence everyday, and I love you.
Love, thank you for showing me the way known by too few.
I still feel your presence everyday.
Love...You.
