With Gingko & Walnuts


I still remember
The time you fed
Me from under the table
When Ah Di was a little toddler
And i was being naughty

I still remember
The time you sat
Beside me on a trishaw
For my first day at school
Thank you for accompanying me

I still remember
The time you sat
Hours at the table
Preparing the best food
For us to enjoy as a family

You asked if I still remember
The time you took me for a walk
By the hillside and the valley

You asked if I still remember
The time I saw the big mansion on hill
And i promised to build you one beside me

You asked if I still remember
The time you took me to the kindergarten
And i introduced you to my teachers, my friends and their family

You tell me your memory's fading
It's no longer as good as it used to be
I begin to wonder
if you will still remember me

You tell me your memory's failing
It's not as clear as previously
I begin to wonder
if you will still remember
You are the special-est of grandmas there can ever be

With gingko and walnuts
A prayer and a plea
I ask with all my heart
That God will be super close and extra real to thee

With gingko and walnuts
A prayer and a plea
I ask that God will show Himself
Faithful and true
A maker and a friend
A saviour and a king

With gingko and walnuts
A prayer and a plea
I ask that God will sustain you
With good health and memory
With joy and with peace.
