lyrics

Would you join me for a nice cup of tea?
Gran’ma would ask with a smile
‘Round a quarter past three
She’d put on the kettle... while I got the cups
And oatmeal cookies from last night, we didn’t eat up
My lil’ Gran’ma, I miss you so
And your sweet precious love – from so long ago
That old copper kettle... it rumbled away
Steamin’ up gran’ma’s glasses that brisk winter’s day
Her kind, lilting voice rang out in sweet harmony
As the teakettle whistled... “It’s time for tea”
My lil’ Gran’ma, I miss you so
And your sweet precious love – from so long ago
As we’d sit & sip our tea, she’d often say to me,
“Your mama had you, but you’ll always be my boy”
Even though she’s gone... her loving was so strong
And that sweet precious love lives on & on & on
My lil’ Gran’ma, I miss you, miss you so
I’ll hold you deep in my heart & never let go
On cold wint’ry days – ‘round a quarter past three
As downy white snow flakes fall soft & gently
I’ll put on the kettle... for my grandkids & me
And we’ll savor sweet precious love & a nice cup of tea
