Family Reunion Lyrics

(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 Wade Bowen - Family Reunion - http://motolyrics.com/wade-bowen/family-reunion-lyrics.html
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
