😪💔 my grandmother transitioned this morning at 4:45am my grandmother was 99 years and 7 months old. God I THANK YOU for the 43yrs that I was blessed to have her in my life. 😪💔
The lesson i have learned from this song is Everything will be okay in time but you gotta make it through the night to see Better days. And You have to be patient. So You who is reading this, You will make it. Be Patient :)
What a great song. If you had a wise, nurturing grandmother like this, this will make a grown man cry. RIP Maw Maw Evelyn. I still miss you. I will always love you. Thanks for loving me.
Heard this on the radio again. It still gave me the chills just like the first time I heard it back in the 80s. Back then while listening to the song, I kept imagining and wishing I had the kind of grandma that Diane Reeves described in her song. Flash forward 40 years after I realized that BETTER DAYS IS MY WISE GRANDMA. Listening to the song soothes the souls of people who were born into families that were given the challenge of growing up with problem parents and grandparents - what today's world labels as 'dysfunctional families.' From the bottom of my soul THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING DIANE REEVES with this wonderful message! Thank you DIANE REEVES for hearing God's call and making this creation come to life!
I haven’t heard this song in decades but it still chokes me up. Can’t even sing it out loud without crying. Geesh it’s been 32 years since my grandma died, and it might as well be 32 seconds when I hear this song. 😢
I used to hear this song since I was a child . I like the song but not much before . Just now when I tried to sing it while reading the lyrics , I just feel so overwhelmed with emotions . You see , I was raised by my grandma when I was just a child because my parents are separated and I live with my mom. My mom works far from our place so she only came to visit me every weekend . My grandma was very strict but I feel so loved. There was a time that she spanked me because I was being naughty and while I was crying she explains to me why she disciplined me . She also said that of all her grandchildren I am her favorite grandchild because I was the first grandchild. When she died I was so sad and everytime I remember her I always cries. Reading the lyrics and trying to sing this song now, it suddenly reminds me of her grandma and it also feels like the lyrics vividly tells my life with my grandma . I really love this song now.
The accuracy of this song my life all the way down to the turn of spring. Every single thing in this song is us I swear. I miss you so much. Silver gray hair in that old rocking chair. I can't wait til we meet again. Mildred L Goggins. She raised me.
This song makes me remember my lola.. the meaning of every lyrics makes me cry.. i miss you my mamang so much.. if only i could turn back the time that im with you, i will cherish the moment that we're together, because it's very painful if you leave.. i love you my mamang Lina..
I remember grandma with this song. Tears fell whenever I sing this song in the karaoke reminiscing her. She loved me so much. She was bedridden for 11 years. I took care of her most of the time and made her feel special until her last breath right by my side in the emergency room as she was struggling to survive.
Grandma seen it all, she experienced everything in this world has to offer. What she told me, would mold me and hold me together inside and someday we will achieve our goals and dreams in life JUST BE PATIENT and believed in GOD you will see those BETTER DAYS. This song is for all of us people who grew up with our grandma who love us unconditionally. I really miss my “silver gray hair neatly combed in place”.-my grandma
I love my grandma and I love this song. Ever since I first heard this song in the late 90s as a teenager I have sung this song at the top of my lungs. Always makes me cry too.
This is a great Heavenly 👍 👏 👌 🙌 masterpiece! God bless you Sister Reeves. Truly Minister Donna Camille Eckhardt ❤ Founder of Effectual Fervent Prayer Ministry 🙏. Keep JESUS 💙 in your heart ❤ FOREVER!!!!.... AMEN
I love this song and feel it in my soul everyday. Miss my grandma so much but this song helped me gather all my strength to make her obituaries. Sat at the grave and played this song.
I LOVE this song and have been trying to find it since forever.....I’m miss my granny so much whom I lost in 2004.... may our memories live forever Rest in Paradise sweet lady😘😘
My Grandmother is such an inspiration, she brought so much joy and happiness to our lives, shes epitome of kindness and love. I know she is better place now, In Sha Allah
I love it!!! I think I’m missing my grandmother even more now since hearing this song!!! I sure wish I could see her, call her and hug her for eternity. One day 😍😍😩😩🥰❤️
Oh my, this song is so beautiful and awesome. I just heard it on the radio. I had to share. It brings back so many memories of my grandmothers, grandfathers, my awesome Daddy ( I miss you so..) and uncles you shared that type of love ❤❤😢😢
Miss you Grandmother May 2004 passed seem like yesterday best grandmother ever a praying grandmother loving grandmother. She loved the LORD. MISS YOU BERTHA LEE PATTERSON ❤💙💜
I've heard this song from a friend and it really hits me. Everytime i heard this lovely song my granny and her story comes back to my mind, giving me a mixture of happiness and sadness.
This song is such a Beautiful Rendition of me and my Grandmother. Emma Lee (Wright) Yates of Memphis TN who passed away on the morning of September 16th 2022. It was 9:14 am that my cousin and I saw her take her last breath. 😭 It was a unexplainable feeling that hurts sooo bad. But it was comforting to know she was a true believer of Jesus's Christ son of GOD. And that she had a personal relationship with GOD. We will celebrate my Granny life on Saturday, October 1st 2022. As it gets closer I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to someone as Beautiful, kind, and loving as my Granny. I miss her so much.....but we will meet again. 💝
My grandma died last week 🥺 before the new year. 12/29/2020. She died with her children and lived a really long time showering so much love for her family.
I've been missing my grandma these days. She died on the eve of my birthday 4 years ago. I just wish I could've spent more time with her and treated her even better than I did. Every time I see an elderly that resembled my grandma I wanted to run to them and hug them. When I see a back that looked like my grandma I would tear up. Although she was poor, she was kind and loving. I wish I could've shared my success now with her. I miss her so much.
70 year old guy guy. every time i hear this i get an ache in my heart that is so strong. the lyrics the melody, the voice. sweet words matter. 108 demons responding. cancel culture fools. no cake and ice cream for you.
While searching for this song i was surprised this didnt even reach top of the charts.. so much underrated. Im in the healing process of my depression from my freak up and this song just made my days.
When I listen to Dianne reeves song better days I reminisce with my grandmother old days and old times even though she passed away 13 years ago on thanksgiving night I won’t forget but the song helps me to cheer me up not to be sad anymore
Sheryl Lee Ralph acceptance speech brought me here I listen to Endangered Species & I wanted to here more of Ms. Reeves music I loved the words this is such a beautiful song never knew it truly is a testimony about GOD. Really love it.
When I saw Gigi performed this song in Gigi vibes I felt goosebumps coz she sang it so good ..I remember this song is my late father's favorite song but I didn't remember the original tune so I searched this lyrics video and here I am crying @2am coz I realized this song reminds me of my late mother so much 😭😭😭 my mom passed away 14mos. ago and I remember how she cherished all her grandchildren that sometimes I get jealous 😭😭😭 I miss my mom so much💔💔😞😞😭😭
I miss my granny! Lue Pearl Chivers. I know I was loved soo much by her and I loved her just as much right back! I'm still baking those cakes just like she taught me! Couldn't wait to get a hug and some sugar (kisses) from my granny ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love my grandma.. wish i could tell her i love her every day that she took care of me. She died days after i Wed, seeing i am now settled. All those years, she mold me for what i am. Love you "inay binang"..
Am Mlouie.. Love this song.I realized that time will tell you everything and only experiences are the true ways for us to learned what life is all about
It feels surreal now (listening and feeling this song) that the one who will always tell me that this world is a better place because I am here, she's now resting in God's hand... and I feel that this world would be better if she stayed for awhile but I know heaven needed her more. I love you, Lola.
Missing you Grandma Fat really bad 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 may your sweet soul continue to Rest in Peace"" I Love you Forever until we meet again in Our Heavenly Bodies ❤
Thank you for sharing this exquisite and evocative song, Trending Philippines 🇵🇭 Your taste is impeccable ❣️ Even though I’ve never been to your country, I feel like I know it through all the marvellous Filipinos and Filipinas I’ve met😍 Love & God Bless
I use to stay in the mirror, and my grandma would say, pretty is what pretty does, now go and wash those dishes and sweep the floor. 🤣 Grandma Rose was telling me the truth and I love her forever more for it. Lessoned well learned , sharing the love 💕 To making it all count in truth and faith. 🕊️
this is just one of the examples how culturally, morally, and spiritually black people raise and guide their youngs. poetically described through lyrics...

Mahirap mag compose ng ganitong klaseng kanta..
From lyrics,melody,arrangements..
Real masterpiece!
Mismo sir sobrang tindi nito.
hirap nga pong gayahin. pero pangarap kong ma-copy-cut sya hehehe
Bravoooo!
Best song lyrics ever no repetition of lyrics just pure storytelling of feelings of a woman
True bro, 💪🏿💜💜
Correct bro. Perhaps the only song that exist with no repetition of lyrics
This song makes me remember all the times with my grandma. She raised me along with my cousins back when we were kids. I LOVE YOU NANAY!
Daming tanong, but she won't turn you away
By
We lost our beloved grandmother. We call her Nanay too and we miss her so much.
Just like me, I was raised by my grandma. She passed away this year last September.
What a great song. If you had a wise, nurturing grandmother like this, this will make a grown man cry.
RIP Maw Maw Evelyn. I still miss you. I will always love you. Thanks for loving me.
