Time is slipping by
the years are rushing past

Feelings have died
a way too fast

Grudges aren't right
for you and me

We don't have to fight
let's just be

A friend to confide
till the very end of time




Our family has become such a mess
too much pride

Feelings cared less
no one tries

What would it take
a family member to die?

For Godsakes
don't say good bye



Too many tears
I wish we could confide

For not enough years
to be by your side

It's no disgrace to say
I love you

To a family face
or two



Let's give it a start
my dear son

For giving a heart
would be a worth while song

I hate the fear
of so many written signs

Losing the yesteryear
of precious time



Let us not
lose the rest

Of the 
family nest

Let's just be a 
FAMILY!
