In a sunny kitchen,
through an open door
In a house made by hands,
come long before
There is a table,
that’s seen some years
Gathered with her family
over laughter and tears
CHORUS:
And we’d sit and drink our strong coffee
Talk about old times
Dream dreams for futures
Somewhere down the line
But we wait for you Ella
For a place to rest your feet,
Yes we’re saving a place at the table
And you make our family complete
From the piles of mashed potatoes
Deviled eggs and dandy greens
You could taste the love in every bite it seems
There was nothin’ she couldn’t make good
“enough” was never enough.
Gathered with her family,
her eyes would fill with love (to chorus)
Bridge:
Your great grandma would be so proud
If she were here today
She’d tell everyone you’re a treasure
More beautiful every day. (to chorus, softer!)
