Dianne Reeves - Better Days Lyrics
Silver gray hairNeatly combed in placeThere were four generationsOf love on her faceShe was so wiseNo surprise passed her eyesShe's seen it allI was a child, ohAbout three or fourAll day I'd ask questionsAt night I'd ask moreBut whenever, she neverWould ever turn me awayNo, no oh woahI'd say how can I be sureWhat is right or wrongAnd why doesWhat I wantAlways take so longPlease tell meWhere does God liveAnd why won'tHe talk to meI'd say GrandmaWhat is loveWill I ever find outWhy are we so poorWhat is life aboutI wanna know the answersBefore I fall off to sleepWoah ho woah hoShe saw the smileAs she tucked me inThen she pulled up thatOld rockin' chair once againBut tonight she wasSlightly, remarkablyDifferent somehowSlowly she rockedLookin' half asleepGrandma yawnedAs she stretchedThen she started to speakWhat she told meWould mould me and holds meTogether insideYeah, yeah, yeah, yeahShe said all the things you askYou will know somedayBut you have got to liveIn a patient wayGod put us here by fateAnd by fate that meansBetter daysShe said, child we are allMoons in the dark of nightAin't no mornings gonna comeTill the time is rightCan't get no better days lestYou make it through the nightYou gotta make itThrough the nightYes you doYou can't get to noBetter daysUnless you make itThrough the night (baby)Oh ho, you will seeThose better daysBut you gotta be patientBe patient, oh babyBe patientLater that year atThe turn of springHeaven sent angels downAnd gave Grandma her wingsNow, she's flyin'And slidin', and glidin'In better daysAnd althoughI'm all grown upI still get confusedI stumble through the darkGetting bumped and bruisedWhen night gets in my wayI could still hearMy Grandma sayI can hear her sayI can hear her sayin'You can't get to noBetter daysUnless you make itThrough the night (baby)Oh ho, you will seeThose better daysBut you gotta be patientChild, do you hear me, yeahWell, well, well, wellYou can't get to no, noBetter daysUnless you make itYou got to make itYou got to make itThrough the nightOh Grandma, oh GrandmaDo you see me now, ladyOh oh oh oh ohTender replies
