A Grandparents' Love

VERSE 1

I could see their faces through the window
'fore I ever reached the door,
And I'd come running through the yard
like I'd never been there before.

Grandma'd pull me to her apron,
Grandpa'd laugh and call my name,
And somehow every little worry
never followed me that way.

They'd take me down some country road,
where I didn't know we'd go,
And every little place they showed me
felt like somewhere I could know.

I thought they knew the whole wide world,
every road and every star—
Didn't know the world felt bigger
just because they were who they were.

CHORUS

A grandparents' love is a light that never fades,
A little piece of Heaven that the years can't take away.
When this old world gets heavy and I've lost my way,
I can still hear, “Come on home, child,” and somehow I'm okay.

From Grandma's kitchen table to Grandpa's hand in mine,
They gave me roots to hold me and faith to see me through the night.
If I could choose this life again, I'd choose the same one too—
'Cause every road was sweeter just because it led to you.

VERSE 2

Grandma'd have that kitchen humming,
something good upon the stove,
biscuits waiting on the table
like she always somehow knew I'd show.

Grandpa'd reach across the table,
say the blessing soft and low,
and I'd watch the way he'd look at her
like she'd always been his home.
They'd fuss a little, laugh a little,
then he'd reach and take her hand.

I was too young to call it wisdom—
but I think I understand.

Love ain't always something spoken.

Sometimes love is what you do.

And I learned more about it watching them
than words could ever teach me to.

BRIDGE

Then that little girl grew older,
and life wasn't always kind.

I've made mistakes and lost my footing,
had some hard roads of my own to climb.

There were times I wasn't proud of
the woman I'd become.

But they never made me earn their love.

They just said,

“Come on home.”

brief instrumental pause

No questions at the doorway.

No judgment at the table.

Just Grandma fixing me a plate
and Grandpa saying,

“You're still able.”

And somehow in that little kitchen
I could breathe again.

That's when I finally understood—

Some love doesn't have an end.
