Holding on to memories

Remembering days of laughter, love so true Grandma's warm smile, her stories, her hug too

Echoes of the past, in my heart they stay Missing those times more each passing day

Grandma's kitchen, scents of home so sweet

Gathering 'round, where love and happiness meet

Her stories and wisdom, like a guiding light Now she's gone, slipped away into the night

Why do we drift, why do we stray?

Lost in our pride, letting love drift away Family bonds, so fragile and thin

How do we mend what's broken within?

Oh, why do we walk away?

When love is all we need, Holding on to yesterday

Before it slips like sand,

Hold your family close today

For they won't stay forever, In your heart, let love stay, Don't let them disappear,

Cherish each moment dear

Big Daddy's laughter, gentle and kind Took us in his arms, with love so divine Helping in the yard, playing till the sun sank Now he's gone to heaven, but his memory's rank

Why do we drift, why do we stray?

Lost in our pride, letting love drift away Family bonds, so fragile and thin

How do we mend what's broken within?

Oh, why do we walk away?

When love is all we need, Holding on to yesterday

Before it slips like sand,

Hold your family close today

For they won't stay forever, In your heart, let love stay, Don't let them disappear,

Cherish each moment dear

Time keeps moving, seasons change But love remains, if we arrange To open our hearts, forgive and heal Preserve the bonds that truly seal

So remember grandma, remember grandpa,

Hold on tight, don't be sad Family is a precious gem,

Treasure them now, while you can, Love them more, hold their hand Before they become a memory's strand
