Reading a romance novel, with more upon the shelf

Grandma took care of the family; never talked much about herself.

But I heard her sing a love song, all those years ago

Playing her piano, and that is how I know (she was)



Chorus

Still in love, still in love, still in love

Still a girl at heart, still in love



Tears came to her eyes when she renewed her wedding vows

I stood there with my camera; she and Granddad looked so proud.

After fifty years together, for better or for worse

The stars kept shinin' in her unspoken universe



(Chorus)



Bridge

She made paper dolls for my mother, and paper dolls for me

I knew her as my Grandma, but only now I see



She let me wear her lipstick, and try on her perfume

She let me read the romance books that she kept in her room.

To the heart it doesn't matter if you're sixty or sixteen

If I reach that silver age, I hope that I will be



(Chorus)
