Verse 1
I still see her rocking on that old pine chair,
Sunset glow tangled in her silver hair.
She’d hum a tune as the fireflies came,
Call me “sugar,” whisper my name.
Now that porch is quiet as a winter night,
But I swear sometimes I feel her holdin’ me tight.
Chorus
’Cause the front porch light still burns,
Even though she won’t return.
And I drive by slow just to feel her near,
Like she’ll step outside and say, “Baby, I’m here.”
Oh, the world keeps turnin’, the heart keeps yearnin’,
For the love I was given so free…
I’m lost in the memories, missin’ her endlessly—
My great granny meant the world to me.
Verse 2
She taught me how to pray, taught me how to stand,
Told me life’s storms pass if you trust God’s plan.
But when they laid her down on that hillside hill,
I felt a kind of hurt time just can’t heal.
I keep her Bible close, pages worn and thin,
Read her favorite verse just to feel her again.
Chorus
’Cause the front porch light still burns,
Even though she won’t return.
And I drive by slow just to feel her near,
Like she’ll step outside and say, “Baby, I’m here.”
Oh, the world keeps turnin’, the heart keeps yearnin’,
For the love I was given so free…
I’m lost in the memories, missin’ her endlessly—
My great granny meant the world to me.
Bridge
And maybe angels needed her laugh tonight,
Maybe heaven shines a little more bright.
But down here I’m learning how to let go,
One broken day at a time, real slow.
Final Chorus
Yeah, the front porch light still burns,
For the love I still return.
I close my eyes just to feel her near,
Hear her voice soft, “Baby, I’m here.”
Oh, the world keeps turnin’, but I’m still learnin’,
How to carry what she helped me be…
I’m lost in the memories, missin’ her endlessly—
My great granny meant the world to me.
