Water the Family Tree
Mama's workin' now I'm playing games it's sunny outside but I don't care if it rainsCause soon she'll be back home where I want her to beAnd it's hard to add one and one and make it threeDaddy went away some time ago and though it seems so long I love him soMama said that daddy won't be back soonAnd I'm a gettin' new shoes when they fix mama's hair at noonMom try so hard that I can see with half full heart she waters the family treeNow here I stand my face pressed to the glassAs thoughts of tender years with mom go pastA cry rings in my heart the world's a lie as I stand and worship my first born tonightMom tried so hard now accept to meAnd with the lovin' heart we water the family treeNow it stands real tall and straight for all to seeAnd the leaves of love grow big on the family treeYes the leaves of love grow big on the family tree From Letras Mania
