lyrics

Ooh Ooh-ooh (repeated)

She twists open the glue with her fragile hands/
And pours it like a Pollock piece/
The photo is then centered and pressed/
Above the caption “My Neice”/
I think she has spent more or less/
Two months in making this book/
Of her labors of love, I love these the most/
She’d say every page is deserved/

She works on her own to encompass time flown/
And survey the last eighty years/
She made me one, says “To you, my grandson/
With love from your grandmother, dear”/
With whistles and hums, another page comes/
To life like the life it’s about/
With the colors and quotes and a letter they wrote/
To her, and of which they forgot/

Ooh Ooh-ooh (repeated)

She keeps a box filled to the top/
With pictures and old artifacts/
From years of watching, collecting, and marking/
Time’s passing by what she collects/
She checks the time as she lets the glue dry/
And notes how much time has elapsed/
Until now as each vestige breathes in the life that she’d say/
Came from “somewhere in the scraps”/

Ooh Ooh-ooh (repeated)
