I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I love 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 tear starts 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 to my mama and daddy
Because I know I owe them my all
In my heart joy tear starts...
I love them so
