Mama's workin' now I'm playing games it's sunny outside but I don't care if it rains
|
Cause soon she'll be back home where I want her to be
|
And it's hard to add one and one and make it three
|
Daddy went away some time ago and though it seems so long I love him so
|
Mama said that daddy won't be back soon
|
And I'm a gettin' new shoes when they fix mama's hair at noon
|
Mom try so hard that I can see with half full heart she waters the family tree
|
[ steel ]
|
Now here I stand my face pressed to the glass
|
As thoughts of tender years with mom go past
|
A cry rings in my heart the world's a lie as I stand and worship my first born tonight
|
Mom tried so hard now accept to me
|
And with the lovin' heart we water the family tree
|
Now it stands real tall and straight for all to see
|
And the leaves of love grow big on the family tree
|
Yes the leaves of love grow big on the family tree
|

Water The Family Tree
