THE FAMILY TREE in D# VENICE

Intro

– – – – – – -

Branches in the wind, still standin’ here together.

One more storm to weather, we’ll get through it yet.

So we’re gathered here, holdin’ on to each other.

To let go of another one, we won’t forget.

Refr.: Now as we say goodbye, to one of our own.

We may be lonely, but we’re not alone.

Though the leaves will fall, and the tears will flow.

–

May it always comfort us to know, the family tree will always grow.

Intro

– – – – – – -

Father down to son, mother to daughter,

Thicker than water, we are made of this.

From the earth we rise, to the earth returnin’.

We’ll keep a candle burnin’, for the ones we’ll miss.

Refr.: And when we say goodbye, to one of our own.

We may be lonely, but we’re not alone.

Though the leaves will fall, and the tears will flow.

–

May it always comfort us to know, the family tree will always grow.

–

Stronger than the wind can blow

.., the family tree will always grow.
