“ Grandma Lost Her Smile "
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
( Verse 1 )
She once had a smile that could brighten the day,
But slowly the memories have faded away.
Now fear takes the place of the love in her eyes,
And I whisper “I love you” as the moments go by.
( Chorus )
Grandma lost her smile, it slipped through the years,
Her laughter replaced by heart-aching tears.
She doesn’t know the faces she once held so dear,
Her joy turned to silence, her smile into fear.
( Verse 2 )
The stories she told have been stolen by time,
The songs that she sang are no longer in rhyme.
I hold her frail hand, though she doesn’t know me,
Still I love her the same through this harsh memory.
( Chorus )
Grandma lost her smile, it slipped through the years,
Her laughter replaced by heart-aching tears.
She doesn’t know the faces she once held so dear,
Her joy turned to silence, her smile into fear.
( Bridge 1 )
But love never leaves, it just hides in the pain,
Like sunshine that lingers behind the rain.
Though dementia may steal what the years once gave,
Her soul still remembers, love never fades.
( Verse 3 )
I see her reflection in pictures of old,
In the warmth of her hugs and the stories she told.
Though her mind drifts away, her heart lingers near,
And I’ll carry her smile till the memories clear.
( Final Chorus )
Grandma lost her smile, it slipped through the years,
Her laughter replaced by heart-aching tears.
But I’ll hold her memory, keep it alive,
Till the day God restores her beautiful smile.
( Outro )
So I’ll sit by her side through the long fading years,
Till God brings her back all the love she held dear.
