The love I knew when I was young
Has helped me through all I have done
And I remember my father as he sang to me
"Little man, go to sleep"
And I'd dream peaceful dreams
And I recall my mother's joined hands
Asking God to help her understand
Why he took the light from her children
When no answer came
How her faith remained
And she lived day by day
God bless you, Mom
Here's to you, Dad
Your hands held firmly to the tiller
You have always been my pillar
And you were there through the laughter and the tears
Though we drifted apart a time or two
I still knew you were there
Still knew you were there
Not a day goes by you don't cross my mind
I realize I must take the time
I mustn't take you both for granted
And I promise to share more of your golden years
And we'll make up for lost time
God bless you, Mom
Here's to you, Dad
Your hands held firmly to the tiller
You have always been my pillar
And you were there through the laughter and the tears
Though we drifted apart a time or two
I still knew you were there
Yes, you were there through the laughter and the tears
Though we drifted apart a time or two
I still knew you were there
Still knew you were there
