there s got to be some folks around with memories just like mine who d give the world to stop the clock and turn back the hands of time to an evening spent like so many spent with mom and dad at home when dad would get the old guitar down and sing a family song sing a family song sing a family song when mom and me sang harmony little sister she hummed along sing a family song oh sing a family song when dad would get the old guitar down and sing a family song now maybe at first your memories of home won t resemble mine at all but there s one thing that i know we all have in common and that s the god given gift to recall maybe your dad didn t play no guitar but i know that there was something he did that just makes your old heart just well up inside when you relive your life as a kid sing a family song sing a family song when mom and me sang harmony little sister hummed along sing a family song oh sing a family song when dad would get the old guitar down and sing a family song when dad would get the old guitar down and sing a family song
