"Loving Family"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1
Cody grew up in an orphanage
And didn't have friends his age
So he sat for hours by the window
Watching the big ol' Og grow
As lonely tears running down his cheeks
Young Cody's diary read:

Chorus
Where's my loving family
The arms to hold me tight?
The home where I can feel safe
Sleep with a smile all night?
I have got the picture frame
But no picture's in it
And each night in the window
My mourning candle's lit
Where's my living family

Verse 2
Eighteen years later Cody's a man
He works in a shop, plays in a band
But with a hole in his manhood
Couldn't ask questions like friends could
But then one day while laying on the couch
A lonely hearted Cody shouts;

Chorus
Where's my loving family
The arms to hold me tight?
The home where I can feel safe
Sleep with a smile all night?
I have got the picture frame
But no picture's in it
And each night in the window
My mourning candle's lit
Where's my living family

Verse 3
Cody became a father one day
To hi's little girl he would say
I'll never leave your side beautiful
Love you though you think I'm too old
I'll be here to wipe the tears you shed
Then he sat his girl down and said:

Chorus (Mod)
I'll be your loving family
The arms to hold you tight
The home where you can feel safe
Sleep with a smile all night
You have the picture frame
With a picture in it
And each night in the window
Loving candle's I'll lit
I'll be your loving family

Tag
I'll give you everything
I never had....And more
