Lyrics
She ain't have much but gave like she did
Had a whole house off a half full fridge
Kept the door unlocked, heart open wide
Even when life took more than it gave she still smiled
She prayed over everybody
Even the ones who hurt her
Held the whole family together like it was her purpose
You could feel her love in a plate, in a hug, in a hymn
And since she left, we ain't felt that again
They don't love like Grandma did
Ain't no arms that feel like this
Ain't no one calling just to say baby you good
Now it's silence where comfort stood
She ain't need a phone to check on your soul
She knew when you was hurting for you ever told
And I've been looking for that kind of love I admit
But they don't love like Grandma did
She remember birthdays, old recipes
Said bless your heart instead of throwing shade at me
Taught me how to pray, how to sit still, how to stand on faith
When life got real
Now the world feel cold, hearts got filters
Text messages done replaced her scriptures
And family dinners turned into take out and phones
Since she been gone, this house ain't home
They don't love like Grandma did
Now everybody distant, everybody hid
Ain't no more porch light, no more come on in
Just locked doors and Thanksgiving
She gave grace when she got none back
Still showed up and never kept track
And I've been trying to fill that space ever since
But they don't love like Grandma did
I miss that unconditional, that come as you are type of real
She didn't need a reason to care, she just loved
And made you feel healed
They don't love like Grandma did
Ain't no soul out here that love that big
I'd trade the world for one more Sunday call
One more story in that old chair by the wall
She left a legacy in every dish, every prayer
And though she's gone, her love's still there
But truth be told since she been heaven's kid
They don't love like Grandma did
Had a whole house off a half full fridge
Kept the door unlocked, heart open wide
Even when life took more than it gave she still smiled
She prayed over everybody
Even the ones who hurt her
Held the whole family together like it was her purpose
You could feel her love in a plate, in a hug, in a hymn
And since she left, we ain't felt that again
They don't love like Grandma did
Ain't no arms that feel like this
Ain't no one calling just to say baby you good
Now it's silence where comfort stood
She ain't need a phone to check on your soul
She knew when you was hurting for you ever told
And I've been looking for that kind of love I admit
But they don't love like Grandma did
She remember birthdays, old recipes
Said bless your heart instead of throwing shade at me
Taught me how to pray, how to sit still, how to stand on faith
When life got real
Now the world feel cold, hearts got filters
Text messages done replaced her scriptures
And family dinners turned into take out and phones
Since she been gone, this house ain't home
They don't love like Grandma did
Now everybody distant, everybody hid
Ain't no more porch light, no more come on in
Just locked doors and Thanksgiving
She gave grace when she got none back
Still showed up and never kept track
And I've been trying to fill that space ever since
But they don't love like Grandma did
I miss that unconditional, that come as you are type of real
She didn't need a reason to care, she just loved
And made you feel healed
They don't love like Grandma did
Ain't no soul out here that love that big
I'd trade the world for one more Sunday call
One more story in that old chair by the wall
She left a legacy in every dish, every prayer
And though she's gone, her love's still there
But truth be told since she been heaven's kid
They don't love like Grandma did
