"The Orchard" lyrics - DOLLY PARTON & FAMILY

[Verse 1: Jada Star]
My grandmother
She was kind and held a wisdom like no other
Her words echo deep inside my heart
We're never apart

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
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

[Chorus: Jada Star & Dolly Parton]
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

[Verse 3: Dolly Parton]
We stitch together
Every memory and thing we can remember
A tapestry of happiness and tears
Passed down year to year

[Verse 4: Jada Starr]
We tell our children
Every story so they can continue building
A foundation that is solid and so strong
For them to carry on

[Chorus: Jada Star & Dolly Parton]
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

[Bridge: Jada Starr & Dolly Parton]
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

[Chorus: Jada Star & Dolly Parton]
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

[Outro: Jada Star & Dolly Parton]
La-na-na, na-na-na-na
La-na-na, na-na-na-na
La-na-na, na-na-na-na
Ni-ni-ni
