Never Forget

[Verse 1]

In a child's eye there's something I hope someday you'll know

A parent's dedication, it's something to behold

A mother's smile, you know, it makes everything alright

To a woman's caring hand I'll be holding on tonight

[Chorus]

When you got love and you got family

You got love and you got family

Yeah, keep 'em close and don't forget

To hold them right there in your heart

When you got love and family

[Refrain]

I'll remember you today

[Verse 2]

To my father's stern direction and the lessons that he taught

My grandmother's affection and the faith I always fought

To the kids at the shows, the way you sing it back at us

And the boys down at the park when we were young and life was nuts

[Chorus]

When you got love and you got family

You got love and you got family

Yeah, keep 'em close and don't forget

To hold them right there in your heart

When you got love and family

[Refrain]

I'll remember you today

[Verse 3]

To all the single parents who keep holding down the fort

To all your sons and daughters, be thankful for what you've got

To everyone with no one, may good fortune turn your way

To everyone whose had someone, remember them today

[Chorus]

When you got love and you got family

You got love and you got family

Yeah, keep 'em close and don't forget

To hold them right there in your heart

When you got love and family
