We are here together… one big family
Because a leaf has fallen… from our family tree
We are here today to celebrate… the joy that was her life
And say goodbye to a sister, a mother, and a wife

But our family tree will stand tall
It was built on love it just won’t fall
There are new branches sprouting everyday
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in everyway

Mama used to tell us… to live life everyday
Take care of each other, and love one another… it’s the family way
But when the good Lord took her… so she could be with Dad again
We said goodbye, but we knew inside, she was glad to be with him

But our family tree will stand tall
It was built on love it just won’t fall
There are new branches sprouting everyday
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in everyway

But our family tree will stand tall
It was built on love it just won’t fall
There are new branches sprouting everyday
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in everyway

When we lose a leaf it’s not the end
It just lets more sunshine in
Our family tree gets stronger in everyway

  7. Excellent job all the way around! The lyrics immediately drew me in and the finished version turned out amazing—nice vocals and guitar.

    My favorite part, “When we lose a leaf it’s not the end; It just lets more sunshine in…”

    Great work!

  8. WOW,… Beautiful,…!!!!!
    It’s very nice to see something I wrote come to life the way I envisioned it,…
    That arrangement and Deanna’s voice and Don’s brilliant guitar work are perfect,…
    Thanks all you guys for running with that without me,… I think it needed some other musicians touch and it paid off,….
    See ya
    Scuba
