To: Kathy in Alaska
My brothers, sisters and I sang this song to my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary--makes me cry every time I hear it because I had the BEST PARENTS!

Thanks Again

I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day, For Father's Day, a shirt and card.

While they came from the heart, They all fell short of saying how special you both are.

It wasn't ' til I was up and gone, Married with a couple of kids of my own, Doing what mamas and daddies do, That I realized what I must have put you through.

So thanks again for the love in the cradle, And all of the changes that kept me dry.

And thanks again for the love at our table, And tannin' my bottom when I told you a lie.

For takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites, And tuckin' me in, yes, night after night:

To my beautiful life-long friends, Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again.

I'm still a young man, least I think I am, But I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray.

And your call last Sunday brought to mind, That I owe you a debt I can never repay.

So thanks again for worryin' and waitin', When I started datin' on weekend nights.

And thanks again for the help with my homework, And sittin' up with me till I got it right.

Your car for the prom, your letters in 'Nam,

But most of all, Daddy, for marryin' Mom:

To my beautiful life long friends, Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again.

To my beautiful life long friends, Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again.
