Lyrics

[00:23.00] In the early rush of morning,
[00:26.04] Trying to get the kids to school:
[00:29.18] One's hanging on my shirt-tail,
[00:31.79] Another's locked up in her room.
[00:34.85] And I'm yelling up the stairs:
[00:38.04] "Stop worrying 'bout your hair, you look fine."
[00:43.56]
[00:48.40] Then they're fightin' in the backseat,
[00:51.05] And I'm playing referee.
[00:54.25] Now someone's gotta go,
[00:57.63] The moment that we leave.
[01:00.90] And everybody's late,
[01:04.02] I swear that I can't wait till they grow up.
[01:10.33]
[01:13.68] Then they do, and that's how it is.
[01:19.74] It's just quiet in the mornin',
[01:22.88] Can't believe how much you miss,
[01:26.20] All they do and all they did.
[01:32.78] You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
[01:39.19] Then they do.
[01:44.32]
[01:46.08] Now the youngest is starting college,
[01:48.95] She'll be leavin' in the Fall.
[01:51.42] And Brianna's latest boyfriend,
[01:55.09] Called to ask if we could talk.
[01:58.13] And I got the impression,
[02:01.64] That he's about to pop the question any day.
[02:06.81]
[02:11.48] I look over at their pictures,
[02:14.35] Sittin' in their frames.
[02:17.21] I see them as babies:
[02:20.67] I guess that'll never change.
[02:23.92] You pray all their lives,
[02:27.32] That someday they will find happiness.
[02:33.02]
[02:36.55] Then they do, and that's how it is.
[02:42.86] It's just quiet in the mornin',
[02:46.20] Can't believe how much you miss,
[02:49.39] All they do and all they did.
[02:55.92] You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
[03:02.30] Then they do.
[03:08.80]
[03:10.34] No more Monday PTA's,
[03:13.55] No carpools, or soccer games.
[03:18.79] Your work is done.
[03:22.14] Now you've got time that's all your own.
[03:24.60] You've been waitin' for so long,
[03:31.14] For those days to come.
[03:36.36]
[03:37.20] Then they do, and that's how it is.
[03:42.75] It's just quiet in the mornin',
[03:45.61] Can't believe how much you miss,
[03:49.04] All they do and all they did.
[03:55.76] You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
[04:02.01] Then they do.
[04:07.69]
[04:10.71] Ah, then they do.
