Memories of you

On the winds of Hendersonville, I hear her laughter still,

A whisper in the pines, brings my heart to a standstill.

Seven years, a little boy, the world so big and bright,

But every shadowed corner holds a memory in the night.

She’d sing to me in soft tones, under the old oak tree,

With every word, she built me up, she was my wildest dream.

The stories that she told me, laughter in her eyes,

I can’t believe she’s gone, oh how time flies.

Oh Granny, how I miss you,

The kitchen filled with love, the smell of something new.

If I could hold your hand, and say goodbye that day,

I’d tell you just how much you mean in every way.

In the heart of Hendersonville, where memories run deep,

I hear your voice in every breeze, as I lay down to sleep.

I recall those summer nights, fireflies glowing bright,

You’d pull me in close, kissed me goodnight.

Time has changed the world around, but it’s made me see,

The strength you left behind, it still lives on in me.

Oh Granny, how I miss you,

The kitchen filled with love, the smell of something new.

If I could hold your hand, and say goodbye that day,

I’d tell you just how much you mean in every way.

And when the autumn leaves fall, like whispers in my ear,

I close my eyes, I feel you near, as if you’re still right here.

Between the stars in jasper skies, and the fields of golden grain,

I will hold you in my heart, until we meet again.

So here's to you, my sweet Mamaw, your love I can’t deny,

In Hendersonville, where the heavens touch the sky.

Though the years may come and go, your spirit will remain,

Forever in my heart, a love that won't wane.
