(Phil Dillon)As a child they were the world to meI was the quiet and trusting kindShe gave me love, he gave me honestyHe told me he and mom couldn't get alongIt was time for him to leaveI said, "Now that it's not your homeWho's gonna sing me off to sleepNow that you're on your ownWho's gonna answer when I call you"At the sound of the tone, just a voice on the phoneNow that we're not a familyWhat did I do to make you both so madI know it must have been my faultWe share the memories that we all hadbut they're hard to hold, in December's coldAnd I know that they won't bring you backNow that it's not your homeWho's gonna help us trim the treeNow that you've got your ownWill you be here on Christmas morningWipe the sleep from my eyes,check your room, no surpriseNow that we're not a familyI've memorized some things about youBut they're an undependable substitute without youNow that it's not your homeYou've got a brand new familyA new baby of your ownPretty soon she'll call you daddyAnd you'll always be there, something we'll never shareNow that we're not a familyAt the sound of the tone, "Sorry we're not home"Now that we're not a family
