[Intro: Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm piano, distant swamp ambience, soft pedal steel, deep emotional atmosphere]
Just found out...
Sometimes life don't knock...
It just kicks the damn door in.
[Verse 1: Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, upright bass, soft kick drum, subtle pedal steel]
Just found out my Mawmaw's got stage four lung cancer.
We already knew Pawpaw's fading away.
Dementia's been stealing pieces of his memory,
Now another storm rolled in today.
This family's trying hard to stay together,
But these tears keep falling like the rain.
Nobody's ever ready for goodbye,
No matter how much faith we claim.
[Pre Chorus: Piano builds, brushed snare enters, pedal steel rises]
I keep thinking 'bout the little things,
The arguments that didn't mean a thing.
If I knew those days were numbered,
I'd have held on to every single minute.
[Chorus: Full country band, driving drums, warm bass, soaring pedal steel, emotional electric guitar]
My Mawmaw...
My mama's mama...
She's always been our rock.
Lord, I wish You'd put
A little more time...
On her clock.
She held this family together,
When the whole world fell apart.
If love alone could save somebody,
She'd never leave our hearts.
Lord, I ain't asking for forever.
Just a little more time to talk.
Please...
Put a little more time...
On her clock.
[Verse 2: Pull back to acoustic guitar, piano, steady bass, gentle steel guitar]
She taught us love without saying much,
Just by the way she lived each day.
A warm meal waiting on the table,
And somehow she'd always find a way.
Now every hug means so much more.
Every smile feels hard to leave.
I'd give everything I own tonight,
If somehow she'd never have to leave.
[Bridge: Piano and strings, drums drop out, lone pedal steel cries]
God...
I know Your plans are bigger than mine.
But if mercy still falls from Heaven,
Could You let it fall...
Just one more time?
[Final Chorus: Full band swells, powerful drums, layered acoustics, soaring pedal steel, gospel harmonies]
My Mawmaw...
My mama's mama...
She's always been our rock.
Lord, I wish You'd put
A little more time...
On her clock.
Let us laugh one more Sunday.
Let us gather one more time.
Let her hear us say we love her,
Before You call her home.
And when You finally take her hand,
Walk beside her every step.
Until I see her face again...
She's a love I'll never forget.
Lord...
Please put a little more time...
On her clock.
[Outro: Acoustic guitar, soft piano, lonely pedal steel fades into silence]
I love you, Mawmaw...
Always have...
Always will...
