Grandma’s Kitchen

Billy McDowell, Julie Reiner, Michael Saleta

She’s had those green countertops since ‘74
There’s a faded blueberry stain on the cracked wooden floor
My number’s on the fridge with a picture of me
By the doctor and drug store pharmacy
Don’t know how long she can live here by herself
Anymore

Chorus
She don’t remember me now, and it’s alright
She knows I love her somehow
Tonight her memories disappear
But I’m thinkin’ bout those years
She talked cookin’ and we talked livin’
In Grandma’s kitchen

VERSE 2
I stood right beside her baking my first chocolate cake
Hanging on every word about her first date
Stories through time, like grains of sand
We cleaned our plates and made us big plans
I wanted to learn all she could teach me before
It’s too late

Chorus
She don’t remember me now, and it’s alright
She knows I love her somehow
Tonight her memories disappear
But I’m thinkin’ bout those years
She talked cookin’ and we talked livin’
In Grandma’s kitchen

Deep blue eyes warm smile
Fragile to the bone
I reach out to hold her hand`
At least she knows….. she’s not alone

She don’t remember me now
She knows I love her somehow
memories disappear

Chorus
She don’t remember me now, and it’s alright
She knows I love her somehow, but tonight
her memories disappear
But I’m thinkin’ bout those years
She talked cookin’ and we talked livin’
In Grandma’s kitchen
In Grandma’s kitchen
