Oh, always
Always and forever
Oh, always
Always and forever
Sitting here I'm thinkin 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 say I thank you
I'll always thank you
More than you would 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
Oh, 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'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
repete CHORUS ("And I thank you" instead of "I Say Thank You")
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
CHORUS (x2) (Don't say the last line when you sing the chorus the first time)
