You Are Royalty to Me Lyrics

You are Royalty To Me
(For Granny)
How do you write a song for a queen?
How do you find the words or the melody?
Imagine a honky tonk humming a symphony
Or a pedal steel playing a Beethoven suite
How do you write a song for a queen?
When I was a kid, you’d sit on your throne
We’d fly down the highway
In your Lincoln Continental
You saw the good in me, you said I was bright
I felt like the sun seeing myself in your eyes
You’ll never know just what your love means
Did you know you’re royalty to me?
Growing up in Texas in that small town
No, I didn’t fit in so I kept my head down
I would run home from school

To play cards with you again
We would laugh and cry while talking
You’ll never know just what your love means
You are royalty to me
Now you wear a crown of silver
In place of your gold
And time has taken almost everyone you know
If you ever doubt you made a difference for me
I am who I am because I was loved by a queen
You will always be royalty to me
