The smells and sounds of Love.

Lyrics

In My Grandmother?s Kitchen
Song by: Cameron James © 2006

Verse 1
It smells like love in my grandmother?s kitchen
Chicken and dumplings and all of the fixin?s
Cinnamon apples and strawberry pie
With vanilla ice cream on the 4th of July

Grandma put a big spoon in my right hand
She said wave it to the music you?re the leader of the band
We marched round the table, tea pot whistlin? on the stove
Then grandma sang like an angel from up above

Chorus
She Sang Hallelujah; close your eyes and hear the love
She Sang Hallelujah, and the joy in your heart comes from up above

Verse 2 (½ Verse)
Now Grandma?s in her chair tellin? tall tales
Yarns about cowboys, mermaids and whales
She throws in a story ?bout some bad buckaroos
In Australia stealin? kangaroos

Chorus
And we sang Hallelujah; we close our eyes and hear her love
We sang Hallelujah, and the joy in our hearts comes from up above

Bridge
I?m reminded of those days they don?t seem that far away
When I hear my own kids, laughin? while they play

Chorus
And I sing Hallelujah; I close my eyes, I hear their love
I sing Hallelujah, and the joy in my heart comes from up above

Verse 1
(Spoken) And when I hear their little voices
You know I can?t help but think back
And when I do, I take a long deep breath
(Sung) And it smells like love in my grandmother?s kitchen
Chicken and dumplings and all of the fixin?s
Cinnamon apples and strawberry pie
With vanilla ice cream on the 4th of July
And grandma?s got a twinkle in her eye
Yea, Heaven on the 4th of July

Chorus
Hallelujah; I still hear those sounds of love
I sing hallelujah and the joy in my heart comes from?
Up above, up above, up above, up above, up above
Joy from up above, ah hear the love, yea joy from up above
