In a child's eye there's something I hope someday you'll know
A friend's dedication, it's something to behold
A mother's smile, it makes everything alright
To a women's caring hand, I'll be holding on tonight

When you got love, hey, and we got family
When you got love, hey, and we got family
Keep them close and don't forget
To hold them right there in your heart
When you got love and family

Whoa, whoa
I'll remember you today

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 the park when we were young and life was nuts

When you got love, hey, and we got family
When you got love, hey, and we got family
Keep them close and don't forget
To hold them right there in your heart
When you got love and family

Whoa, whoa
I'll remember you today

To all the single parents who keep holding down the fort
To all you 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

When you got love, hey, and we got family
When you got love, hey, and we got family
Keep them close and don't forget
To hold them right there in your heart
When you got love and family
