Family Tree
Frankie Chavez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

bring all your books
and dreams and clothes you wear

place it next to my books
and dreams and all the things
I like to share

imagine how the world would be
if only you and me
start to build
our own family tree

bring all your wanna do's
and wanna go's
let's build our own
records of highs and lows

please don't forget
all the things you
wanna say
for i my dear
want to learn your way

and now we're 3,
the most beautiful empathy
let's keep on growing our own
family tree
let me light up the
candles for you to blow
let me wake you up
just to say hello.
i love your dreams
i wish i could foresee
i love you melodies
i wish one day I could see

and now we're 3,
the most beautiful empathy
let's keep on growing our own
family tree
