Family Values
I had a sister named Emma Missisippi
Is a river that floats in the states
Just like the memory and the wisdom of the water
Our souls were connected in so many ways
Even though we havenÒ‘t talked in a while
IÒ‘m still waiting for the day to come when you will arrive
IÒ‘m sorry if I ruined happy times weÒ‘ve been through
But now I wonder, if I can spend my days without you and
I had a mother, and her name was Carolina
Carolina is a state in the states
I think thereÒ‘s fifty but thereÒ‘s only one mother
And she wonÒ‘t even look in my face
You know IÒ‘d give it all to be loved by you again
But everythingÒ‘s my fault so I carry the blame
But now IÒ‘m growing, I get older while the days pass by
Soon IÒ‘ll be dying thinking you wonÒ‘t even look me in the eyes
And itÒ‘s sad
So sad
Family values
That we had, itÒ‘s just a memory
In your mind, weÒ‘ve gone bad
ThereÒ‘s no love
I had a father named Mr Engelbert
Engelbert Humperdinck sings really good
I havenÒ‘t heard him but I hear my fathers voice
ItÒ‘s in the dreams where things are like they should
I miss your love wich came naturally
Sometimes I cry, when I think about how things used to be
Well at least come and visit me for only one time
Daddy I love you but I know you wonÒ‘t pay me no mind
And itÒ‘s sad
So sad
Family values
That we had
IÒ‘ts just a memory in your mind
WeÒ‘ve gone bad
ThereÒ‘s no love
No no
