Thanks, thanks, for all the memories!
Thanks, thanks, for making this day so special!


It was a long time ago when I last saw your face
And I thought I would never see it again.
You were just a small little child

And I was someone without a friend
Who was trying to find his way
On a slippery slope at the end of a very long day.


Thanks, thanks, for all the memories!
Thanks, thanks, for making this day so special!


It was a long time ago when I made some foolish choices
And I have had my ups and downs in life

and more than my share of regrets.
I can't undo the past or wipe away all the tears
Or ever forget the mistakes and disappointments

Of dreams that were shattered but not destroyed.

Thanks, thanks, for all the memories!

Thanks, thanks, for making this day so special!
Today, I am so proud of the incredible person that you are
And the way that life seems so fatefull.

I can't take any credit for your success
That has to go to many others who were with you
while I was absent from your life not by choice.

However, you have my jaw and jagged looks
And for that I am eternally grateful.


Thanks, thanks, for all the memories!
Thanks, thanks, for making this day so special!
Thanks for all the memories!
