your crowning glory!

I saw this soundtrack from the movie Princess diaries 2. It's called "your crowning glory"
here are the lyrics:
Your Crowning Glory
by Julie Andrews & Raven

[J.A.]
Some girls are fair
Some are jolly and fit
Some have a well-bred air
or a well-wholed wit

Each one's a jewel
with a singular shine
a work of art
with it's own rare design

Dear little girl,
you are terribly blessed
But it's your heart of gold
I love the best

And that will be your crowning glory
your whole life through
It'll always be your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you

[J.A.] Some boys can waltz
[R] Some guys can groove
[J.A.] Strike an elegant pose
[R] With the really good clothes
[J.A.] Some seem to have no faults
[R] But we never like those
[J.A.] No we don't
[R] He'll praise your eyes
[J.A.] Your melodious laugh
[BOTH] Call you more lovely than others by half
[J.A.] The one who's right
[R] My gorgeous prince
[J.A.] Will be honest and true
[R] He'll believe in me too
[J.A.] And prize your heart of gold the way I do

[BOTH]
He'll know that will be your crowning glory your whole life through
Your love will see that it's your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you and you
and you
and you

[BOTH]
That will be your crowning glory
Darling when they tell your story
They'll call your heart of gold your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you

Well, isn't that cute.. I too had a grandmom like that, who told me stuff that only grandmom's can tell. She was my father's mom, and to me, she was the best grandmom ever. Until she was alive, my mom always had second place. and everytime i listen to this song, i get reminded of her, and the very thought brings tears to my eyes...miss her a lot... she taught me how to be elegant and poised, walk with an air of authority, with grace. Loved her. Although i should say, that she wasn't a very great mother or a mother-in-law, she was a great grandmom. I never got tired of the stories she told me, or the way she fed me when i said i wasn't hungry, and somehow got me to finish my plate and even take second and third helpings. Even the most boring food tasted great when she fed it out of her hands. And only grandmom's have that kind of a gift. Since both my parents worked, she was the one i always came home from school to. And every single day, when i came back home, she'd have a plate full of smoking hot food on the table ready for me. How she manages the timing, I never knew. But there again, that's what grandmom's are always good at; knowing what you want the most and precisely when exactly... She taught me songs from her times and made me sing those along with her. And on saturdays, she'd bring me a second cup of coffee at about 11, after my parents had gone to work( i wasn't allowed to have more than one cup a day). Even today, when i have my second cup of coffee, the coffee reminds me of her. She taught me values that i will never ever forget, yet spoilt me in a way that only grandmom's can. "grandmom! you rocked!!!!!!" And all i wish right now, is for my daughter to get a grandmom like mine, to love her and spoil her, and teach her to be a princess!!!
