Dedicated to my dearest Grandmother... forever n ever the smiling lady in my heart..
Uh - la la la...
When I was heartbroken, who stayed by my side?
On whose shoulder did I shed my tears?
With whom did I share my joy?
With whom did I hold hands?
I remember.
On the night we spent apart
The moon was far away and I was crying.
On the night we spent apart
The moon was far away and I was crying.
Who taught me true strength?
Who taught me kindness?
On whose account do I walk?
Who did I want to stroke my hair?
Who didn't give up for me?
I'll never forget.
When I stray from the path, and
When the path is too long,
I was muttering to myself.
That's the way life is...
I pray that this singing voice
will reach you...
I pray that this singing voice
will reach you...
I pray that this singing voice
will reach you...
I pray that this singing voice
will reach you...
ha-a-a-
Grandmother, you rox. You're my angel. My grandmother, my guardian angel, my shining moonlight who guides me in the dark....
