A beautiful lady sits in her chair
With kind caring eyes and silver hair
Soft hands if I was sad
Hands of steal if I was bad
Never do you see Nanny cry
Nanny stays strong for you and I
Nanny holds her children near
She loves her grandkids very dear
Nanny's cooking is better than life
Grandad is lucky to have you as his wife
Years go by and times they change
The world goes around and dreams are rearranged
A beautiful lady sat in a chair
With kind caring eyes and silver hair
Nobody knew the sorrow she faced
She always faced it with pride and grace
Nanny always held you tight
Nanny loved with all of her might
Never did Nanny let you cry
She always could smell a lie
Today I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray that you are safe and warm
I know you will be with us through the storm
Today we walk by your side
Tears in our eyes but with great pride
We carry you to your resting place
We feel your love and God's Grace
Nanny you taught me so much please know
I understand you had to go
Goodnight my angel close your eyes
Please know that I won't say goodbye
Goodbyes are permanent this is not
This is just see you later you won't be forgot
