Up at the crack of dawn
Daddy’s already gone
Breakfast ready, coffee’s on
Wakes up her sleepy heads
hard gettin em outta bed
Three little boys
Fed dressed out the door
lunches packed the night before
Waiting at the end of the drive
They get on the bus
give a wave goodbye
Every morning starts the same
Some things never change
Now it’s quiet she’s all alone
Everyones left home
someday soon the time will come
they’ll be all grown
Out on their own.
facts of life
time passes by
Before your eyes
they leave home
raise a family of their own
an empty house as they grow
Oh where does the time go
standing at the back of the church
he walks his mother down the aisle
only a few feet but to her a thousand miles
a new woman will take her place
All beautiful and dressed in lace
But a mother’s love no one can replace
She has a tear in her eye
Holding back, trying not to cry
he kisses his new bride
they wave goodbye
Now a sound of little feet on the floor
Sounds familiar from a time ago
It’s different from before
It’s the crack of dawn
there’s no breakfast, no coffee on
loud noises down the hall
And she hears “grandma”
The best words of all
