sheila kay adams - family tree lyrics

Loading...

>
right outside my window
stands a giant old oak tree
it’s been there all our lifetime
sharing all our memories

sheltered ‘neath its massive limbs
(my how nanna has it right)?
it proved a place of refuge
for my momma as a child
daddy built a clothesline
and attached it to the tree
and on its lowest limb
he hung a tire swing for me

it was there beneath its branches
that my nanna taught me how
to pop my fingers in my mouth
and whistle long and loud

looking in my mother’s face
reflected there i see
something of my grandmother
looking back at me

and even in the mirror
it’s the two of them i see
i guess that makes us branches
on an ever+spreading tree
