Family Tree Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: Night Owl

When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony
Youâ‚¬â„¢d sit there waiting in the wings
How long have you been waitinâ‚¬â„¢ 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 weâ‚¬â„¢re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
Itâ‚¬â„¢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 itâ‚¬â„¢s left its mark on you
I see the same things in myself
You know thereâ‚¬â„¢s nothinâ‚¬â„¢ we canâ‚¬â„¢t do
Weâ‚¬â„¢ve been a long time waitinâ‚¬â„¢, but some things never die.

Itâ‚¬â„¢s time to leave all that behind
Itâ‚¬â„¢s time to lay that ghost to rest
We canâ‚¬â„¢t deny the ties that bind
Tonight weâ‚¬â„¢re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.

This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
Itâ‚¬â„¢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...
