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
