It goes something like "because you come to me wityh nought save love......you hold my hand and lift my eyes above.......a greater world of life and love" those are only bits and pieces of the song I know. My grandmother needs to know this reallly bad and if you could please help her and give me an artist or name of the song i would really appreciate it

Perry Como - Because
Edited to add lyrics -
Because, you come to me,
with naught save love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
a wider world of hope and joy I see,
because you come to me!
Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
and I am led through tears and joy to thee,
because you speak to me!
Because God made thee mine,
I’ll cherish thee,
through light and darkness through all time to be,
and pray His love may make our love divine,
because God made thee mine!
Music by Guy d'Hardelot and lyrics by Edward Teschemacher

The name of the song is "Because." Perry Como sang it, probably others as well. Como would fit with your grandmother's generation, I think, so that may be the version she is remembering. This link goes to the original 1902 sheet music:

and this one has the lyrics in poem form:
