[Intro] [Soft acoustic, fingerpicked - almost spoken] Mmmm… I’ve been thinking ‘bout you… [Verse 1] The time has come to say out loud What I’ve carried all these years A quiet ache that settled in And never disappeared The grandchildren I’ve never seen The ones I do not know No names that come to mind for me No faces I can hold [Verse 2] Dear grandchildren, hear me now Not a day goes by You don’t drift across my thoughts And settle in my mind Some names were never told to me No photos ever came No little birth announcements sent No keepsakes with your names [Chorus] If you ever come looking If you ever wonder why There’s a place here still waiting With your name held inside I never stopped caring Not a day, not a year I’m your Gran, and I’m here Yes, I’m still right here [Verse 3] I searched for you the only way This world would let me try Through Facebook and quiet hope And posts that passed me by I looked until I couldn’t look Until that door was closed Even that small window gone Like something I once knew [Verse 4] You may have heard I walked away That I chose to let you go But that’s not the truth I carry It’s not the truth I know I never said I didn’t care Or closed the door on you I only stood outside your lives Not knowing what to do [Chorus] If you ever come looking If you ever wonder why There’s a place here still waiting With your name held inside I never stopped caring Not a day, not a year I’m your Gran, and I’m here Yes, I’m still right here [Bridge] And I believe as time rolls on You’ll start to question things Wonder where your story bends And what the past might bring I only hope when that day comes It’s not too late for me I’ll be right here where I’ve always been Just hoping you might see [Final Chorus] If you ever come looking If you ever find my name There’s a heart here still open And it’s never changed I’ve been right here waiting Through the years, through the tears I’m your Gran, and I’m here Yes, I’m still right here [Outro] If you ever come looking… I’ll be here… I’ve always been here…
