I'm sitting here I'm thinking back to a time when I was young...

My memory, is clear as day

I'm listening to the dishes clink, you were downstairs, you would sing

Songs of praise

And all the times we laughed with you, and all the times that you stayed true to us

Now we say...

I said I thank you, I'll always thank you

More than you could know, than I could ever show

And I love you, I'll always love you

There's nothing I won't do, to say these words to you

That you're beautiful forever

You were my mom, you were my dad, the only thing I ever had was you, it's true

And even when the times got hard, you were there to let us know...that we'd get through

You showed me how to be a man, you taught me how to understand the things, people do

You showed me how to love my God, you taught me that not everyone knows the truth

And I thank you, I'll always thank you

More than you could know, than I could ever show

And I love you, I'll always love you

There's nothing I won't do, to say these words to you

That you will live forever

Always, always and forever
