Lyrics
August sixteenth, the sky turned to grey
A new star was born when you went away
Mamie Rosalie, the house feels so wrong
Éric, Jeanthé, Marie cry all day long
[Chorus]
Oh Mamie, we miss you, words can’t explain
And your smile in our hearts is a beautiful pain
[Verse 2]
We, your grandsons, still can’t believe it’s true
Every memory leads us right back to you
We search for the tenderness in your voice
Left without you, we don't have a choice
[Bridge]
We just wanted to hold you one last time
Tell you everything on our mind
[Outro]
Sleep in peace now, you'll never depart
From our memories, our lives, our hearts.
