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.
|

Thanks Again
