My grandmother
She was kind and held a wisdom like no other
Her words echo deep inside my heart
We're never apart
My grandfather
He was so proud of his family and his holler
He worked the land and worked his sons and daughters
He lived with honor
Even though some leaves have gently fallen
We all know new trees will grow
A family tree becomes an orchard callin'
For us to sing their song
Their memory goes on
We stitch together
Every memory and thing we can remember
A tapestry of happiness and tears
Passed down year to year
We tell our children
Every story so they can continue building
A foundation that is solid and so strong
For them to carry on
Even though some older leaves have fallen
We all know new trees will grow
A family tree becomes an orchard callin'
For us to sing their song
Their memory goes on
Oh, the years, they may pass away (they may pass away)
But their memory never fades
They stand besides us in the orchard that they made (they stand besides us in the orchard that they made)
That they made
Even though some older leaves have fallen
We all know new trees will grow
A family tree becomes an orchard callin'
For us to sing their song
Their memory goes on and on
La-na-na, na-na-na-na
La-na-na, na-na-na-na
La-na-na, na-na-na-na
Ni-ni-ni
