Grandma's Song

My Grandma
I remember when I was young
And you were young
Now you're old
And I've been told
That you must go
Don't you know
I love you so?
I can't let go
I won't let go

I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry, 
Grandma!

My Mymaw
My Grandpa
 My Papaw
Now my Grandma
He's taking you all.
It makes me mad.  It makes me sad.
I need ya'll.  
Our Linda.
Our Angel.
Your daughter.
I love ya'll!

I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry, 
Grandma!

Oh, Grandma...
Remember when you held me...
On your knees?
And You loved me.
That's what I need.
Don't leave me. 
I love you.
I always will.
You know...

I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry.  I don't wanna cry, 
Grandma!
