Emma

I remember the sleepovers, just you and me

Taking long bubble baths and watching TV

We’d go hunting through thrift stores, walking the aisles

Looking for Barbies just to see you smile

Setting up the dollhouses on the living room floor

I couldn't have asked for a granddaughter I love more

Oh Emma, you have the most beautiful heart

I’ve loved you completely right from the start

In twenty-two years, look at all you have done

You’re an amazing young lady, my beautiful one

No matter where you go, or how far we're apart

You will always have a special place in Nana’s heart

And I will always be here for you

I close my eyes and see the tea parties we threw

Papa would sit down and pour a cup for you

Then you'd run through the hallway, trying not to speak

While Pouchie tried to find you playing hide and seek

Those little girl moments, they flew by so fast

But I saved every memory, I built them to last

Now December is coming, I'm bursting with pride

With your Master's degree right there by your side

You've accomplished so much, you're reaching the sky

I'm wiping a happy tear from my eye

You're stepping into the world, so brilliant and bright

But you're still my little girl staying the night

Oh Emma, you have the most beautiful heart

I’ve loved you completely right from the start

In twenty-two years, look at all you have done

You’re an amazing young lady, my beautiful one

No matter where you go, or how far we're apart

You will always have a special place in Nana’s heart

Yes, I will always be here for you
