Hallie Jean

The very first time I held you, everything changed

My first granddaughter, my sweet Hallie Jean

You’ve got a heart that’s overflowing, it's true

With all the love you give to mommy and daddy too

And when you run to gramma, reaching out your hand

I feel a magic I finally understand

Oh, Hallie Jean, you bring a light to my life

A tender kind of love that feels so right

When I look in your eyes, my whole heart melts

Now I know exactly how my Gramma Ruby felt

Yeah, holding you close, my spirit swells

Now I know how my Gramma Ruby felt

Two sweet years went by, watching you grow

Taking in every little thing you know

Then you met your baby brother, a brand new dawn

Little Colter James, though we all call him John

You wrap him up in that same sweet grace

Putting a smile on your gramma's face

Oh, Hallie Jean, you bring a light to my life

A tender kind of love that feels so right

When I look in your eyes, my whole heart melts

Now I know exactly how my Gramma Ruby felt

Yeah, holding you close, my spirit swells

Now I know how my Gramma Ruby felt

It’s a circle of love, passing through the years

Wiping away all the worries and fears

It's a gift from above, pure and unseen

This beautiful bond with my Hallie Jean

Oh, Hallie Jean, you bring a light to my life

A tender kind of love that feels so right

When I look in your eyes, my whole heart melts

Now I know exactly how my Gramma Ruby felt

Yeah, sweet Hallie Jean, my whole heart melts

Now I know how my Gramma Ruby felt
