    Heard this on the radio again. It still gave me the chills just like the first time I heard it back in the 80s. Back then while listening to the song, I kept imagining and wishing I had the kind of grandma that Diane Reeves described in her song. Flash forward 40 years after I realized that BETTER DAYS IS MY WISE GRANDMA. Listening to the song soothes the souls of people who were born into families that were given the challenge of growing up with problem parents and grandparents - what today's world labels as 'dysfunctional families.'From the bottom of my soul THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING DIANE REEVES with this wonderful message! Thank you DIANE REEVES for hearing God's call and making this creation come to life!

    This song touch me in a special way. My grandmother passed when I was on active duty overseas. And, I was the only one in my family. Who didn't make it to her funeral. And, hearing this song the first time. Had me in tears.

    Silver gray hair
    Neatly combed in place
    There were four generations
    Of love on her face
    She was so wise
    No surprise passed her eyes
    She's seen it all
    I was a child, oh
    About three or four
    All day I'd ask questions
    At night I'd ask more
    But whenever, she never
    Would ever turn me away
    No, no oh woah
    I'd say how can I be sure
    What is right or wrong
    And why does
    What I want
    Always take so long
    Please tell me
    Where does God live
    And why won't
    He talk to me
    I'd say Grandma
    What is love
    Will I ever find out
    Why are we so poor
    What is life about
    I wanna know the answers
    Before I fall off to sleep
    Woah ho woah ho
    She saw the smile
    As she tucked me in
    Then she pulled up that
    Old rockin' chair once again
    But tonight she was
    Slightly, remarkably
    Different somehow
    Slowly she rocked
    Lookin' half asleep
    Grandma yawned
    As she stretched
    Then she started to speak
    What she told me
    Would mould me and holds me
    Together inside
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    She said all the things you ask
    You will know someday
    But you have got to live
    In a patient way
    God put us here by fate
    And by fate that means
    Better days
    She said, child we are all
    Moons in the dark of night
    Ain't no mornings gonna come
    Till the time is right
    Can't get no better days lest
    You make it through the night
    You gotta make it
    Through the night
    Yes you do
    You can't get to no
    Better days
    Unless you make it
    Through the night (baby)
    Oh ho, you will see
    Those better days
    But you gotta be patient
    Be patient, oh baby
    Be patient
    Later that year at
    The turn of spring
    Heaven sent angels down
    And gave Grandma her wings
    Now, she's flyin'
    And slidin', and glidin'
    In better days
    And although
    I'm all grown up
    I still get confused
    I stumble through the dark
    Getting bumped and bruised
    When night gets in my way
    I could still hear
    My Grandma say
    I can hear her say
    I can hear her sayin'
    You can't get to no
    Better days
    Unless you make it
    Through the night (baby)
    Oh ho, you will see
    Those better days
    But you gotta be patient
    Child, do you hear me, yeah
    Well, well, well, well
    You can't get to no, no
    Better days
    Unless you make it
    You got to make it
    You got to make it
    Through the night
    Oh Grandma, oh Grandma
    Do you see me now, lady
    Oh oh oh oh oh

      with all due respect the song is nice but the lyric that states grandma was given wings and flying, gliding is false she is sleep in the grave awaiting for judgement, that is the order of things her breath has left her body into the atmosphere .. you have a lovely singing voice
