[00:13.68]Family reunion, 4th of July
[00:18.95]It's been three years since I've seen it
[00:22.40]Now I remember why
[00:25.11]Aunt Charlotte's at the door
[00:27.96]Big smile on her face
[00:30.77]The first thing she says to me:
[00:33.59]"Looks like you've gained some weight"
[00:36.47]You only get that kind of honesty
[00:41.68]From family
[00:43.53]
[00:45.52]Uncle Joe's getting plastered
[00:47.98]Aunt Marthe's getting mad
[00:50.83]Same old cousin Doug
[00:53.29]Same old jokes, same old bad
[00:56.63]Mama has to keep reminding me
[01:01.22]Son, they're family
[01:03.37]
[01:04.04]A few new babies, the same old crazies
[01:10.09]I've known 'em my whole life
[01:12.34]And they still amaze me
[01:15.48]I didn't choose 'em
[01:18.02]But I'd hate to lose 'em
[01:20.99]Cause you gotta love 'em
[01:24.50]They're family
[01:26.58]
[01:27.98]Cousin Linda showed up
[01:30.83]With her new sweetheart
[01:33.66]I had to laugh when daddy whispered
[01:36.54]Fifth time might be the charm
[01:40.04]And there's a brother Lester
[01:42.29]In the city, just flew in
[01:44.99]All the way from way out （?）
[01:47.87]We're still not sure about him
[01:50.83]But different as we are it's good to be
[01:55.87]In family
[01:57.48]
[01:58.36]A few new babies, the same old crazies
[02:04.37]I've known 'em my whole life
[02:06.58]And they still amaze me
[02:09.71]I didn't choose 'em
[02:12.27]Wouldn't wanna lose 'em
[02:15.35]Cause you gotta love 'em
[02:18.01]Man, they're family
[02:20.31]
[02:22.23]When mama said the blessings
[02:24.03]She was fightin' back the tears
[02:26.86]Cause the last time we were all together
[02:30.53]Grandpa was here
[02:32.50]She knew how proud he'd be
[02:35.09]And how much he'd love to see
[02:37.50]
[02:38.34]A few new babies, the same old crazies
[02:44.35]I've known 'em my whole life
[02:46.56]And they still amaze me
[02:49.52]Don't get to choose 'em
[02:52.37]But you hate to lose 'em
[02:55.37]You gotta love 'em
[02:58.16]Cause they're family
[03:02.10]Family reunion, 4th of July
[03:07.53]It's been three years since I've seen it
[03:10.89]Now I remember why
