Five-two-one-four-seven-one 
Buzz number six on the intercom 
"Beep, beep, beep"- and there you'd be 
With a smile and open arms, waiting for me. 
Your home was my escape, my favourite place 
It was the very place that I knew I was safe 
It was there I went, when I had a hard day at school 
Or when I'd had another playground fall 

Everyones Grandparents died, It was always sad 
"My Nan will always be here" was the attitude I had 
And then you were diagnosed, I told you, you'd be okay 
I couldn't accept the truth Nan, you had to stay 
You couldn't leave me, I don't want you to go 
Couldn't God see, that I needed you so? 

I was only young, noone cared to explain 
About what was happening, or if I'd see you again 
But I was older than my years, why couldn't anybody see? 
That I wanted to hug you, and hold you close to me 
Just one last time, even if it meant saying Goodbye 
But people just hushed, they didn't want to see me cry 

Then it came. The awkward silence deafened my ears 
"Your Nan died tonight" were the words I did hear 
Why?What?How? Hold on! Where is my cuddle? 
But off Dad walked, leaving me in a puddle 
Of my own tears, that I couldn't help but cry 
Why did I never, get to say Goodbye?? 

How could you be gone? You were here only yesterday... 
And as I write this, its seven years since you went away 
I remember the last time, I saw your beautiful face 
You looked so peaceful, like you knew of your next place 
Where you were going, to be free of that pain 
Where we would one day, meet again 

I kissed your cold head, and held your cold hands 
But somehow I felt warm, just being next to my Nan 
I longed for you to wake up, and tell me its a dream 
This couldn't be real, not happening to me. 

If ever I have a wish, its for you back here with me 
But I can't be selfish; please rest peacefully 
I have children now, Nan, you'd of adored them 
I trust you already know this, we speak to you often 
My daughter knows, of your smiling face 
I've told her that you're in a special place 
Far away, beyond the twinkling stars 
But in our hearts, you are never far 

I miss you so bad, I want to rewind time 
I want you back here, "God, she's mine!" 
I hope you are proud; I hope with my heart 
I love you Nan, it hurts to be apart 
I never thought it true, when they said hearts can break 
But now and forever, there is a terrible heartache. 

One last thing, before I put a stop to this rhyme 
And that is; "I'll love you, 'til the end of time" 
I want to thank you, for everything, you ever did for me 
And with the Lord I'll always plea 
But I know Nan, my wish cannot come true 
Please know that I am forever thinking of you 
I hold our memories, they are precious to me 
I relive them often, and see you in my dreams 
Goodnight Nan, God Bless, I miss you so bad 
Love you forever, Nan and Grandad.
