[Verse 1]
You smell like soap and sugar
Tea towel on your shoulder
Flour on your fingers
Calling me in closer
You tuck a strand behind my ear
Say “look how tall you’ve grown”
Every time I’m next to you
It feels like coming home
[Chorus]
Oh Nan
You’re my home
More than any house I’ve ever known
In your laugh
In your hands
In the stories only you understand
Oh Nan
Can you see
How much your little girl still needs
To sit beside you
Never let go
Nan
You’re my home
[Verse 2]
You save my crumpled drawings
On the fridge for years
You listen like it matters
To every hope and fear
Biscuits in the biscuit tin
Blanket on my knees
You say
“the world can wait a bit”
And time sits still for me
[Chorus]
Oh Nan
You’re my home
More than any house I’ve ever known
In your laugh
In your hands
In the stories only you understand
Oh Nan
Can you see
How much your little girl still needs
To sit beside you
Never let go
Nan
You’re my home
[Bridge]
One day I’ll tell my children
How you held my heart so kind
I’ll pass your sayings down the line
So you’re never left behind
[Chorus]
Oh Nan
You’re my home
More than any house I’ve ever known
In your laugh
In your hands
In the stories only you understand
Oh Nan
Can you see
Every part of who I am is you in me
From then to now
You need to know
Nan
I love you so
Nan
You’re my home
