The Train-Zoom!
The Train…Zoom!
As the memory drifts in again
Capturing the richness of love.
Reminiscence my heart did win.
Visits with grandmother, beloved.
Capturing the richness of love.
We, arm in arm, adventure bound.
Visits with grandmother, beloved.
Two on a train ride to a nearby town.
We, arm in arm, adventure bound.
The day trip grandmother had planned.
Two on a train ride to a nearby town.
The picnic basket was in her hand.
The day trip grandmother had planned.
She and I together, enjoyed the park.
The picnic basket was in her hand.
We stayed and played ‘til almost dark
She and I together, enjoyed the park.
It was the first train ride we two shared.
We stayed and played ‘til almost dark
It was special; I knew she cared.
It was the first train ride we two shared.
On the way back, we had our own room.
It was special; I knew she cared.
Lullabies, whistles, and sounds from the train…zoom!
It was the first train ride we two shared.
Reminiscence my heart did win.
It was special; I knew she cared.
As the memory drifts in again

Dedicated to one of my two wonderful grandmothers... They both live on in my heart.
