the world was truly blessed
with all the special joys
that make a family happiest...
For grandparents know how to do
the things that warm a heart,
They touch our lives with loving care
right from the very start...

and all we're dreaming of...
When God created grandparents,
He blessed our lives with love.

THERE'S NO ONE QUITE LIKE GRANDMA
THERE'S NO ONE QUITE LIKE GRANDMA
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you
There's no one quite like Grandma
And I know you will agree
That she always is a friend to you
And she's a friend to me
There's no one quite like Grandma
She's there in times of need
Before it's bedtime, on her knee
To us a book she'll read
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you
And one day when we're older
We'll look back and say
There's no one quite like Grandma
She has helped us on our way
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
There's no one quite like Grandma
A love we always share
At party time and Christmas too
We know that she'll be there
There's no one quite like Grandma
She always has a smile
She never hurries us along
Just stays a little while
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you
And one day when we're older
We'll look back and say
There's no one quite like Grandma
She has helped us on our way
Grandma, we love you
Grandma, we do
Grandma, we love you
And we know you love us too
