Wade Hayes - 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 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
