Now That We're Not A Family Lyrics - Singles - Brokop Lisa

(Phil Dillon) 

As a child they were the world to me 

I was the quiet and trusting kind 

She gave me love, he gave me honesty 

He told me he and mom couldn't get along 

It was time for him to leave 

I said, "Now that it's not your home 

Who's gonna sing me off to sleep 

Now that you're on your own 

Who's gonna answer when I call you" 

At the sound of the tone, just a voice on the phone 

Now that we're not a family 

What did I do to make you both so mad 

I know it must have been my fault 

We share the memories that we all had 

but they're hard to hold, in December's cold 

And I know that they won't bring you back 

Now that it's not your home 

Who's gonna help us trim the tree 

Now that you've got your own 

Will you be here on Christmas morning 

Wipe the sleep from my eyes, 

check your room, no surprise 

Now that we're not a family 

I've memorized some things about you 

But they're an undependable substitute without you 

Now that it's not your home 

You've got a brand new family 

A new baby of your own 

Pretty soon she'll call you daddy 

And you'll always be there, something we'll never share 

Now that we're not a family 

At the sound of the tone, "Sorry we're not home" 

Now that we're not a family
