Lyrics
[Verse 1] You sang to me, when I was too sick to eat
You set on my side table when I couldn't sleep
You held me close from fears of the night
You stood in front of me whenever there were fights
You showed me how to write my letters right side up
And where to place my hands to hold onto my cup
We all needed a grandma like you..
[Chorus] Whispering pines, whispering pines you sang to me
Bring my Melissa back to me
But now you're gone, I listen for you to sing
But trying to make you proud lessens the sting
[Verse 2] You brushed the tangles from my waist length hair
Guiding me, "Don't start at the top, start down there"
Even after working, there was always something to eat
And any friends I had, their parents you wanted to meet
You taught me how to clean and to always work hard
And didn't laugh at me when my grilled cheese was charred
We all need a grandma like you..
[Chorus] Whispering pines, whispering pines you sang to me
Bring my Melissa back to me
But now you're gone, I listen for you to sing
But trying to make you proud lessens the sting
[Bridge] You're gone from me and I miss you so much
But I remember you in everything I touch
Losing you sent me in a whirl
But I will forever be grandma's little girl
[Chorus] Whispering pines, whispering pines you sang to me
Bring my Melissa back to me
But now you're gone, I listen for you to sing
But trying to make you proud lessens the sting [Outro]
