“Grandma” is a ballad written and performed by actor Alan Thicke in dedication to his late grandmother. The song was released in 1984 as the B-side to “Thicke Of The Night,” the theme song to Thicke’s short-lived late night talk show.
Like “Thicke Of The Night,” “Grandma” was co-written by veteran...
[Chorus]
Grandma, I had the best of your years
Grandma, I love you so
And Grandma, you had a shoulder for my tears
It didn’t always show
But I hope you’ll always know
You been all the world to me
[Verse]
Grandma, you surely earned your rest
You won your place among the stars
Grandma, I only knew you at your best
No one else on earth but me
Could ever hope to see
Just how beautiful you are
[Bridge]
It seems to me I should’ve told ya
Before we grow a moment older
Let me take the time tonight to say
Grandma, everything I’ll ever be
Was part of what you gave to me
And everyone you ever knew
Tells me how lucky I was
Having you
[Chorus]
Grandma
We were the very best friends
It’s so sad the way time flies
And Grandma
I’d love to do it all again
I only have to close my eyes
Summer lakes and Sunday pies
Take me down to Grandma’s house again
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 2]
And everything I’ll ever be
Was part of what you gave to me
And everyone you ever knew
Tells me how lucky I was
Loving you
[Outro]
Grandma
I knew you’d understand
Now that all is said and done
Grandma
I got your picture in my hand
And I’m gonna show it to my son
I know he’ll understand
Seeing Grandma through my eyes
Loving Grandma through my eyes
