10 years ago today
My grandma passed away
People said that it was fitting
That it was on Chrismtas day
She was a religious
Woman to the end
And they said where she was going
She was going with a friend
Jingle bells jingle all the way I don't know what it's like to ride on a one horse open sleigh
I don't know what the words they mean but I sing them anyway
On the 25th of December
The extended family
They would get together in honour of her memory
But as the years went by
they married and had kids
They all had their own families to be with at Christmas
They would sing jingle bells
And frank he had a shop
And the kids they all helped Out
And they couldn't come on Chrismtas day cause that's when they were busiest
So they said let's move it a week forward
Just like it was before
and who wants to drive on Christmas 4 hours maybe more
They said we can sing jingle bells
Now it is agreed
To meet the 18th of December
But when I think about my grandma
I still remember
How her mouth it was so dry
And I swabbed in the night
I was so grateful to be there
Just to say goodbye
And I sang to her jingle bells
And everybody sings jingle bells
We sing those Christmas melodies while the memories fade away
We don't know what the words they means but we sing them anyway
