(chick rains/harlan howard) |
|
It won't make the papers |
|
Like some reunions do |
|
There won't be many people |
|
Just me and him and you |
|
I made a childhood promise |
|
You laughed and dried your tears |
|
I swore that i'd bring daddy home |
|
Tomorrow he'll be here |
|
I tracked him down in denver |
|
Where he'd lived all alone |
|
He was just another drifter |
|
With a number on his stone |
|
In his things i found a picture |
|
Where his hands had worn it thin |
|
A smiling bride was by his side |
|
Now you'll be this way again |
|
We'll have that family reunion |
|
The one you dreamed of |
|
Until the day you died |
|
This time mama he's gonna stay |
|
Forever by your side |
|
I never really knew him |
|
I was no more than a kid |
|
He must have been worth something |
|
If someone loved him like you did |
|
It was hard without a |
|
Man there |
|
You did his part too |
|
I watched your dreams fade |
|
Through the years |
|
But mama--this one |
|
Is coming true |
|
We'll have that family reunion |
|
The one you dreamed of |
|
Until the day you died |
|
This time mama he's gonna stay |
|
Forever by your side |
