[Verse 1]
Your chair is still by the window
The kettle waits on the stove
I pass the little blue apron
And lose the words I know
You left a jar of buttons
A note in your careful hand
Now every small thing in this house
Feels bigger than I planned
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching for your voice
Like it's still right down the hall
Then the quiet turns to echo
And it answers none at all
[Chorus]
Oh Grandma, stay with me
Stay in the bread you made
Stay in the quilt you mended
Stay in the games we played
Oh Grandma, stay with me
In the room, in the rain, in the flame
If I say your name aloud
I can feel you near again
[Verse 2]
I found your chipped white teacup
Behind the stack of plates
The rose on the side is fading
But it still looks like you made
I sat with your old stories
At the edge of the bed
And every laugh you gave me
Kept ringing in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching for your voice
Like it's still right down the hall
Then the quiet turns to echo
And it answers none at all
[Chorus]
Oh Grandma, stay with me
Stay in the bread you made
Stay in the quilt you mended
Stay in the games we played
Oh Grandma, stay with me
In the room, in the rain, in the flame
If I say your name aloud
I can feel you near again
[Bridge]
I don't know how to hold this
How to make my hands be still
But I know love don't leave the table
It just changes where it lives
So I'll light the porch on Sunday
Set an extra plate for you
And in the life you handed me
I'll do the things you do
[Final Chorus]
Oh Grandma, stay with me
Stay in the bread you made
Stay in the quilt you mended
Stay in the games we played
Oh Grandma, stay with me
In the room, in the rain, in the flame
If I say your name aloud
I can feel you near again
Oh Grandma, stay with me
Stay with me today
