Nora

I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between living and alive
Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in pain, praying for the Lord to take her

Nora, I hope it won't be too long for you
Nora, all these years you've been so strong
Nora, I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora
'Cause I love you

After leaving her, I turned my life around
I see new life differently through the vision of the old
Oh, material things don't mean that much to me
I guess I learned that I'm just glad to be alive and healthy

Nora, all this time that you have known me
Nora, you took your whole life just to show me
Nora, how we take some things for granted
Nora, Nora, oh, Nora, I love you

And though I know there wasn't long to go
Time was something that we shared
And when you died I didn't cry for long
'Cause I believe I'll see you again

Nora, I'll see you on the other side
Nora, I'll be the one with swallowed pride
Nora, are you sure you don't mind if I call you
Nora, oh, Nora, I love you

I love you
I love you
I love you
Oh, Nora, Nora, Nora
