Grandma Is Never Dead



Rest in peace dear grandma.
You live in my head.
Rest in peace dear grandma.
You are never dead.

Plead for me dear grandma.
You live in my head.
Plead for me dear grandma.
You are never dead.

Cherish bliss dear grandma.
You live in my head.
Cherish bliss dear grandma.
You are never dead.

Keep me safe dear grandma.
You live in my head.
Keep me safe dear grandma.
You are never dead.

Please be still dear grandma.
You live in my head.
Please be still dear grandma.
You are never dead
