always, always and forever

sitting here and thinking back
to a time when i was young
my memories are as 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
and now we'll  say

i said i thank you
i'll always thank you
more than you will 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

always, always, and forever

you were my mom
you were my dad
the only thing i ever had was you
it's true
even when the times got hard
you were there to let us know
we'll make it 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 will 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
forever and ever
forever and ever

so i thank you
i'll always thank you
more than you will know
and 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
