I bought a beautiful diamond ring Offered it to the sweetest thing I know And she said she would take it We started makin' some wedding plans She looked at me and she took my hand and said "Do you think we can make it?" I said, "My granddad's still in love with my grandma" I said, "My dad still thinks my mum's The sweetest thing he ever saw You see, I come from a long line of love When the times get hard, we don't give up Forever's in my heart and in my blood You see, I come from a long line of love" The years went by and we had a son Now he thinks that he's found the one for him And they're planning a wedding He called me up on the phone today Just to see what I had to say to him And did I think he was ready I said what his grandfather used to say to me It's been handed down for ages It runs in the family "Son, you come from a long line of love When the times get hard, you won't give up Forever's in your heart and in your blood Son, you come from a long line of love Yes, you come from a long line of love"
