Oh     always Always and forever Oh     always Always and forever Sitting here I’m thinkin back To a time when I was young my memory Is clear as day I’m listening to the dishes clink You were downstairs you would sing Songs of praise And all the times we laughed with you And all the times that you stayed true to us Now we say CHORUS: I say I thank you I’ll always thank you More than you would know Than I could ever show And I love you I’ll always love you There’s nothing I won’t do To say these words to you That you’re beautiful forever Oh     always Always and forever You were my mom you were my dad The only thing I ever had was you It’s true Even when the times got hard You were there to let us know We’d get through You showed me how to be a man You taught me how to understand the things People do You showed me how to love my God You taught me that not everyone Knows the truth repeat CHORUS ("And I thank you" instead of "I Say Thank You")                 Forever and ever                 Forever and ever CHORUS (x2)  (Don’t say the last line when you sing the chorus the first time) End on
