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
