Joanna Perricone - Who Are You to Me? Lyrics

Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but
Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but

1924 she was born, she was one of nine
Right before the Great Depression hit, Mary had arrived
Ddaddy had a car and was always giving rides
In the countryside, dirt roads, no pesticides
And oh she loved to read, put her focus on a book
Good looks, when she went in town, the boys would take a look
Good cook, well mannered always did what she was told
No heat, in the wintertime the house was so cold
Went swimming in the lake by her house in the winter she was skating
Spring and summer outdoors always playing
Liked school, loved her siblings this is rose hill road
Met Vincent James when she was only 20 years old

Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but
Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but

Jim worked as a bricklayer and she did shifts at Macy's
Hardworking folks that took the time to raise five babies
They never went to college, but the kids went to college
Pushing generations further, yeah that was so symbolic
Made a doctor, lawyer, nurse, priest shit even a teacher
Mind you, Mary all along was still a very avid reader
Did a stint of sewing parachutes, strictly military
Watched the kids grow up, move out and get married

Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but
Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but

In her seventies, curlers in hair
Grand baby on her hip, but still zipping everywhere
In her 90's looking back, but the memories are random
Hold her hand, give a squeeze like, "Grammie, its Joanna"

Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but
Who are you to me
You look so familiar
What time of the year is it
I thought it was it was winter
Who are you to me
Tell me, are we going bye bye
Such a pretty smile and a glimmer in your eyes, but
