GRANDMA'S WISHES
[ country; written by Mike Callahan, Jim Reeves and Bradley West ]

Grandma's wishes were more than just her dreams

She had a simple life and lived within her means

She went to church on Sunday, sat in her same pew

Said, "heaven's just a prayer away from me and you"

Grandma's wishes are holdin' me tight

They keep me warm in the middle of the night

They keep me safe, show me wrong from right

And I thank the lord above, for grandma's wishes

Now I've growin' older with a family of my home

We all go to visit at the old family home

I tell her that I love her and what she means to me

She's everything I am and all that I hope to be

Grandma's wishes are holdin' me tight

They keep me warm in the middle of the night

They keep me safe, show me wrong from right

And I thank the lord above, for grandma's wishes

I just got the phone call, was in Dallas at the time

Thought that I was ready, but I ended up cryin'

As we stand together in this place that she called home

And there I lay the flowers down beside the stone

Grandma's wishes are holdin' me tight

They keep me warm in the middle of the night

They keep me safe, show me wrong from right

And I thank the lord above, for grandma's wishes

Yeah, I thank the lord above, for grandma's wishes
