Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. You give me a kiss. You give me a hug. You smile when you see me too.
I wish ev’ry child in the whole wide world Had a grandmother* just like you.
2. You read me a book. You sing me a song. You whisper you love me too.
I wish ev’ry child in the whole wide world Had a grandmother* just like you.
3. I’ll try to be good; I’ll do as I should. I’ll whisper, “I love you too.”
I wish ev’ry child in the whole wide world Had a grandmother* just like you.
