Nana Was Always There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts are made for holding on From cradle days to wedding songs I watched you take your first sweet bite Your first brave steps in morning light Those baby blues looked up at me And Nana knew what love could be [Chorus] I was there, I was there Every step and every prayer Kalya, darlin', can't you see You were always home to me Now in white you're walking by And Nana's happy tears won't dry [Verse 2] Room grandmother in your class Watched those school years go too fast At Saint Lawrence, lunch tray in hand I kept an eye, you understand Every prom dress, every dance Kay, I never missed a chance [Chorus] I was there, I was there Every step and every prayer Kalya, darlin', can't you see You were always home to me Now in white you're walking by And Nana's happy tears won't dry [Bridge] Flour on our hands, the kitchen warm Rolling raviolis, safe from any storm Those are the recipes I'm leaving you Love and family, through and through [Verse 3] Then you grew into a nurse Caring hands for those who hurt Oh, I'm proud of all you've done The woman that you have become So take that hand and hold on tight May every year be warm and bright [Chorus] I'll be there, I'll be there Every step and every prayer Kalya, darlin', you will see You'll always be home to me Now in white you're walking by And Nana's happy tears won't dry [Outro] From your first step to this day Nana loves you, little Kay Live happy, loved, and long, my dear And know that I'll be always near
