Sitting here I'm thinkin back
C9 G
To a time when I was young my memory
Dsus4/F#
Is clear as day
A2
I'm listening to the dishes clink
C9 G
You were downstairs you would sing
Dsus4/F#
Songs of praise
A2
And all the times we laughed with you
C9 G
And all the times that you stayed true to us
Dsus4/F#
Now we say
Em7
I say I thank you
A2
I'll always thank you
C9
More than you would know
G
Than I could ever show
Em7
And I love you
A2
I'll always love you
C9
There's nothing I won't do
G
To say these words to you
F
That you're beautiful forever

A2
You were my mom you were my dad
C9 G
The only thing I ever had was you
Dsus4/F#
It's true
A2
Even when the times got hard
C9 G
You were there to let us know
Dsus4/F#
We'd get through
A2
You showed me how to be a man
C9 G
You taught me how to understand the things
Dsus4/F#
People do
