Now That We're Not A Family Lyrics

(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
