Al Jarreau - Grandma’s Hands [studio]

Grandma's handsu00a0
Clapped in church on Sunday morningu00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0
Played a tambourine so wellu00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0
Used to issue out a warningu00a0
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fastu00a0
Might fall on a piece of glassu00a0
Might be snakes there in that grass"u00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0

Grandma's handsu00a0
Soothed a local unwed motheru00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0
Used to ache sometimes and swellu00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0
Used to lift her face and tell her,u00a0
She'd say "Baby, Grandma understandsu00a0
That you really love that manu00a0
Put yourself in Jesus hands"u00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0

Grandma's handsu00a0
Used to hand me piece of candyu00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0
Picked me up each time I fellu00a0
Grandma's handsu00a0
Boy, they really came in handyu00a0
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boyu00a0
What you want to spank him for?u00a0
He didn' drop no apple core"u00a0
But I don't have Grandma anymoreu00a0

If I get to heaven I'll look foru00a0
Grandma's hands
