Lyrics
Me in my tux, you in your white gown
In front of the church scared as could be
We made some vows there at the altar
And planted the seed for our family tree
With lots of hard work and determination
Down on our knees, we've rolled up our sleeves
With T.L.C. and plenty of perspiration
We've tended to our family tree
Faith's kept us anchored
When dark clouds gathered
Hope's been our stronghold
'Cause our roots run deep
Love's been our shelter
When storms have threatened
Life is sweet under this family tree
We watch our kids swing in its branches
It's sturdy enough so they're not afraid
Still got to work to make it grow stronger
One day they'll need to rest in its shade
There'll be a time they carve hearts and arrows
One day they'll start their own families
They'll need some wood to build a home with
We'll give them some from our family tree
Faith's kept us anchored
When dark clouds gathered
Hope's been our stronghold
'Cause our roots run deep
Love's been our shelter
When storms have threatened
Life is sweet under this family tree, yeah
Life is sweet under this family tree
Faith's kept us anchored
When dark clouds gathered
Hope's been our stronghold
'Cause our roots run deep
Love's been our shelter
When storms have threatened
Life is sweet under this family tree, yeah
Life is sweet under this family tree
This family tree
