Branches

Growin' up I never once Wanted anything more than just the two of us Singing "Obla Dee" in harmony And racing to the top of that magnolia tree, hmm I thought it was hard With the miles apart But the roots we have will always keep at close at heart Then I got the call That you met someone But no one could have known just what it would become I knew this was bound to happen Though it's still hard to imagine That you'd be growin' your own branches But if he's good to you Then he's good with me I'd like to welcome him To our family tree My instinct said Don't let him in 'Cause no one's ever good enough for my best friend So I'll guess I'll share I see how much he cares But when you need me, you know that I will still be there I knew this was bound to happen But it's still hard to imagine That you'd be growin' your own branches If he's good to you Then he's good with me I'd like to welcome him To our family tree Hmm, hmm Yeah, I know this means I get to make a speech But words can never capture what you mean to me I knew this was bound to happen Though it's still hard to imagine That you'd be growin' your own branches But if he's good to you Then he's good with me I'd like to welcome him To our family tree
