Lyrics

This Tune Reminds Me

I remember when we use to play
back in the day
in the early mornings
You got me dressed
sat me on your knee
Wiped the sleep from eyes
as I was still yawning
You fixed me breakfast
Then we hit the streets
You got your newspaper
and a cup of coffee
Heavy on sugar
and light on the cream
Then off to the park
Where I played on a he swings

Chorus

This tune reminds me of you
and the things we would do
This tune reminds me of you
and the things we would do

Grandma on Sunday Mornings:

I remember waking up to the smell
Of the coffee
that you were making
I couldn't wait to taste the
Grits, eggs and the biscuits
That you were baking

Grandma Barbara
Being at your house
All of us having fun and getting loud
Dancing to the music that you would play
Moving like the bands of back in the day

I Love the smell of the food you cook
All the hugs and the time you took
Taking me to church
Teaching me what the word is worth
B.I.B.L.E.
Basic, instructions before leaving earth
A little man Sitting in the pew
you got your strap in your purse
Just To keep me cool
Hey Grandma
Ain't nothing wrong with that
You know
Cause back in the day
We never ever talked back

(Bridge)

I'm so glad
You were in life
You brought through
all the pain and strife
I couldn't take it
I'm so glad you're here
By my side
Wipe the tears right from my eyes
I couldn't make it
I remember those happy days
I remember my crazy ways
and all that you've done for me


I'm so glad you were in my life
Things weren't always perfect
But you kept me right
I know you're gone now and that's ok
Cause when you brought me up
You taught me how to make my own way.

I wasn't the greatest student back at that time
But you always taught me the art of using my mind
Press forward
And Do what it takes
Do the best you can
and don't be fake

You taught me I'm a winner
And I should never quit
aim for the top now
and then go get it

When I was young I didn't understand what you meant
The words you used
were from God
yes Heaven sent
Now I live by them
Yes everyday
Everything you told me
I'm remembering
Even when Your love was tough
Now I understand
it's that kind of tough love
That helped me be the man
that I am
