Píseň: My Family

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Whatever's for Us
Have you met my family
 Wouldn't take long to know them well
 Though they number from one to a million
 In this house we all dwell


 Say hello to Jo, she's a goddess
 And to Paul, he is a saint
 And Adam, he's from the forest
 And to Jane, all day she paints


 You ask me how I feel now
 Well I will tell you no lie
 Jessie, you bring the sunshine
 And you can see it in her eyes


 Johnny tends the garden
 And little David sows the seeds
 Our manna is from heaven


 He gives us all we need


 He is Peter
 He's a piper, yeah
 And they will never grow old
 So I bid you welcome
 Welcome brothers, yeah
 Welcome to the fold


 You ask me how I feel now
 Well I will tell you no lie
 Jessie, you bring the sunshine
 And you can see it in her eyes


 Johnny tends the garden
 And little David sows the seeds
 Our manna is from heaven
 He gives us all we need
