Lyrics
GRANDMA DIED IN FORTY FOUR
WITH TWO SONS IN THE PACIFIC
AND THE ONLY WAY I KNEW HER
WAS THROUGH GRANDPAS XMAS TALES
HOW THEY BROUGHT HER OLD PIANO
WITH AUNT JUNE AND UNCLE THOMAS
IN A WAGON HEADED NORTH
FROM TENNESSEE TO ILLINOIS
AND HOW SHE PLAYED HER OL PIANO
AND TOOK THE CHILL OFF OF THE AIR
AND HOW XMAS NEVER WAS THE SAME
SINCE SHE WASNT HERE
HERES A SONG , FROM NELLIES OL PIANO
ITS HER I HAVE TO THANK FOR THIS
MUSIC IN MY HEART
AND GRANDMA THOUGH WE NEVER MET
I FEEL IVE ALWAYS KNOWN YOU
AND ITS YOU THAT GIVES ME MUSIC
IN THE DARK
SOON AFTER GRANDPA DIED THERE CAME A LETTER IN THE MAIL
IT SEEMS NELLIES OL PIANOES IN THE WILL
WITH A NOTE THAT SAID JIM WRITE A SONG FOR NELLIE
THERE ARE SO MANY OF HER DREAMS
YOU FULFILL
