Lyrics

Mom & Dad’s Waltz

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'd walk for miles

Cry or smile

For my mama and daddy

I want them

I want them to know

Now I feel

My love is real

For my mama and daddy

I want them to know

I love them so

In my heart

Joy tears start

'Cause I'm happy

And I pray

Every day

For mom and pappy

And each night

I'd walk for miles

Cry or smile

For my mama and daddy

I want them to know

I love them so

I'd fight in wars

Do all the chores

For my mama and daddy

I want them to live on

Till they're called

I'd work and slave

And never rave

For my mama and daddy

Because I know

I owe them my all

In my heart

Joy tears start

'Cause I'm happy

And I pray

Every day

For mom and pappy

And each night

I'd walk for miles

Cry or smile

For my mama and daddy

I want them to know

I love them so

I love them so
