Thanks Again

I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day

For Father's Day, a shirt and a card

While they came from the heart

They all fell short of saying how special you both are

It wasn't till 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
