Before you were born
We were young, we were happy
As happy as two can be
But the table was big
There was room for another
So we prayed that we could be three
Then you came along and started the song
Now we sing as a family
There's mommy and daddy and baby
And happiness
This is our family tree
So when you were born
We were young, we were happy
As happy as three can be
But the table was big
There was room for another
So we prayed that we could be four
Then your sister came along and joined in the song
Now we sing as a family
There's mommy and daddy, two daughters
And happiness
This is our family tree
Then we looked 'cross the table
And what did we see?
A young man pulling up a chair
Now there's mommy and daddy, three children
And happiness
This is our family tree
Before you were born
We were young, we were happy
Now we're as happy as we can be
