Gerry Rafferty - Family Tree lyrics



When we were young we used to sing

And we could feel the harmony

You'd sit there waiting in the wings

How long have you been waitin' to let your light shine?

Many years have gone since then

Seen us go our different ways

But now we sit here once again

Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place

To bring out our memories

It's written on every face

I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

In all the years we had

As part of a family tree

We knew the good and bad

I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

I know it's left its mark on you

I see the same things in myself

You know there's nothin' we can't do

We've been a long time waitin', but some things never die.

It's time to leave all that behind

It's time to lay that ghost to rest

We can't deny the ties that bind

Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place

To bring out our memories

It's written on every face

I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing)

As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony)

We knew the good and bad

I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

When we were young we used to sing...
