She’s the real deal! No auto tune or sweetening. Just pure voice.

always cry when i hear this song

This song touch me in a special way. My grandmother passed when I was on active duty overseas. And, I was the only one in my family. Who didn't make it to her funeral. And, hearing this song the first time. Had me in tears.

SHE SOUNDS GOOD.... NEEDED THIS

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 love Dianne Reeves, this song has inspired so many Filipino artists, singing in all live venues in the 90’s, such as myself ❤️Thanks for your gift 🎁❤️

This lady has many songs but this one , takes me back to grandmama's kitchen. Only grandmother's can hug like that !!!

Mrs Reeves you have a beautiful soul. I'm just blessed to be able to hear you sing this song in my life time. It brings me memories and tears of joy.

The voice quality and control is so good.

OMG!!! Diana you are Queen!!❤

Wow i remember back in the day when i played my music loud @ my mom's house 1 day i played this song my grandmother came to the door walker and all saying TURN IT UP miss you grandma

A natural beauty, a wonderful singer, a Goddess...

Silver gray hair Neatly combed in place There were four generations Of love on her face She was so wise No surprise passed her eyes She's seen it all I was a child, oh About three or four All day I'd ask questions At night I'd ask more But whenever, she never Would ever turn me away No, no oh woah I'd say how can I be sure What is right or wrong And why does What I want Always take so long Please tell me Where does God live And why won't He talk to me I'd say Grandma What is love Will I ever find out Why are we so poor What is life about I wanna know the answers Before I fall off to sleep Woah ho woah ho She saw the smile As she tucked me in Then she pulled up that Old rockin' chair once again But tonight she was Slightly, remarkably Different somehow Slowly she rocked Lookin' half asleep Grandma yawned As she stretched Then she started to speak What she told me Would mould me and holds me Together inside Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah She said all the things you ask You will know someday But you have got to live In a patient way God put us here by fate And by fate that means Better days She said, child we are all Moons in the dark of night Ain't no mornings gonna come Till the time is right Can't get no better days lest You make it through the night You gotta make it Through the night Yes you do You can't get to no Better days Unless you make it Through the night (baby) Oh ho, you will see Those better days But you gotta be patient Be patient, oh baby Be patient Later that year at The turn of spring Heaven sent angels down And gave Grandma her wings Now, she's flyin' And slidin', and glidin' In better days And although I'm all grown up I still get confused I stumble through the dark Getting bumped and bruised When night gets in my way I could still hear My Grandma say I can hear her say I can hear her sayin' You can't get to no Better days Unless you make it Through the night (baby) Oh ho, you will see Those better days But you gotta be patient Child, do you hear me, yeah Well, well, well, well You can't get to no, no Better days Unless you make it You got to make it You got to make it Through the night Oh Grandma, oh Grandma Do you see me now, lady Oh oh oh oh oh

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place. There were four generations of love on her face. She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes, She'd seen it all. I was a child, oh, about three or four. All day I'd ask questions. At night I'd ask more. But whenever; she never, would ever, turn me away. I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong ? And why does what I want always take so long ? Please tell me where does God live And why won't He talk to me ? I'd say, Grandma what is love ? Will I ever find out ? Why are we so poor, what is life about ? I want to know the answers before I fall off to sleep. She sort of smiled as she tucked me in. Then she pulled up that old rockin' chair once again. But tonight she was slightly, remarkably Different somehow Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep. Grandma yawned as she stretched. Then she started to speak. What she told me, would mold me, and hold me Together inside. She said all the things you ask You will know someday. But you have got to live in a patient way. God put us here by fate And by fate that means better days. She said, child we are all moons in the dark of night. Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right. Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night. You gotta make it through the night, yes you do. You can't get to no better days Unless you make it through the night. Oh, you will see those better days But you gotta be patient. (Be patient) oh baby, be patient. Later that year, at the turn of spring, Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings. Now, she's flying, and sliding, and gliding In better days And although I'm all grown up I still get confused. I stumble through the dark Getting bumped and bruised. When night gets in my way I could still hear my Grandma say I can hear her say, I can hear her say. You can't get to no better days Unless you make it through the night baby. (Be patient) Oh, you will see those better days But you gotta be patient. Child, do you hear me, yeah. You can't get to no better days Unless you make it, you got to make it You got to make it You got to make it through the night Oh Grandma, oh Grandma Do you see me now, lady Oh oh oh oh oh She used to sit me on her knee She used to comb my hair She used to tell me stories My Grandma took me everywhere

oh yeah

Today, one more being greeted, Daniel. Baby Shower, Gramma is waiting! Evelyn's day, until he arrives! 7/8 /17

For Mrs Ruby Boyd.

All I can say is OMG
