thanks again

i've sent bouquets for mother's day

for father's day

a shirt and card. while they came from the heart

they all fell short of saying how special you both are. it wasn't ' til i was up and gone

married with a couple of kids of my own

doing what mamas and daddies do

that i realized what i must have put you through. so thanks again for the love in the cradle

and all of the changes that kept me dry

and thanks again for the love at our table

and tannin' my bottom when i told you a lie. for takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites

and tuckin' me in

yes

night after night;

to my beautiful life-long friends

hey

mom and daddy thanks again. i'm still a young man

least i think i am

but i'm watchin' my own hair turn gray

and your call last sunday brought to mind

that i owe you a debt i can never repay. so thanks again for worryin' and waitin'

when i started datin' on weekend nights

and thanks again for the help with my homework

and sittin' up with me till i got it right. your car for the prom

your letters in 'nam

but most of all

daddy

for marryin' mom;

to my beautiful life long friends

hey

mom and daddy thanks again. to my beautiful life long friends

hey

mom and daddy thanks again.
