He stood staring at his father who was 85 years old
And he remembered all the balsams they played so long ago
So he put his arms around him and kissed him on the cheek
He said, dad it's time i told you what a friend you've been to me
If you love someone, let 'em know
If you're thinking of someone better tell 'em so
I can't understand what makes us think
Out hearts and minds can be read
What's going without saying should be said
She stood in the kitchen doorway all grown up with children too
Watching as her mom cooked just like she used to do
So she slowly walked up to her and held her wrinkled hands
She said mom, you're the greatest mom a daughter ever had
No one needs our roses when the sun of life's gone down
If your gonna send a message of your love then send it now
I'm afraid i haven't let you hear the things you should've heard
I don't believe i've truly put my feelings into words
But to me you are so beautiful much more than words can say
And if you don't mind and you got the time i'd like to start today
