D7 G D7
I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day,
C D G
For Father's Day, a shirt and a card
Bm
While they came from the heart,
Em C Am D7
They all fell short of saying how special you both are
G D7
It wasn't 'til I was up and gone,
C G
Married with a couple of kids of my own,
Bm Em G
Doing what mamas and daddies do,
A7 D7
That I realized what I must have put you through
G D7 G
So thanks again for the love in the cradle,
Bm C
And all of the changes that kept me dry
G Bm
And thanks again for the love at our table,
Em D7 C
And pattin' my bottom when I told you a lie
G D7
For takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites,
G C G C
And tuckin' me in, yes, night after night:
G D7 Em C
To my beautiful life-long friends,
G D7 G
Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again
D7 G D7
I'm still a young man, least I think I am,
G C G
But I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray
Bm Em C
And your call last Sunday brought to mind,
A7 D7
That I owe you a debt I can never repay
G D7 G
So thanks again for worryin' and waitin',
Bm C
When I started datin' on weekend nights
G Bm
And thanks again for the help with my homework,
Em D7 C
And sittin' up with me till I got it right
G D7
Your car for the prom, your letters in 'Nam,
G D7 G
But most of all, Daddy, for marryin' Mom:
G D7 Em
To my beautiful life long friends,
C D7 Am G D7
Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again
G D7 Em
To my beautiful life long friends,
