This thought's a memory from a little boy
lying warm, beneath the sheets
big hands come, and tuck me in

a warm kiss brushes across my cheek

CHORUS

But now I'm older and I sleep alone
and I wait, but no one comes
then those memories, they come and tuck me in

with warm hands and kisses sweat

Each time I see you the years fade away

you're there to guard me and keep me safe
fix my scraped knee and send me off to school
show me love, watch me eat


CHORUS


I wonder what you were like when you were young
Would we have played, and got along?
Would I still see what I see in you?

Or can I see because of you?




and so I thank you for your ever present care
and so I thank you for being there

we were lucky to have parents such as you
and I love you
