Ab Db Eb
I could write another song 'bout how my parents done me wrong.
How they yelled and heaped abuse on any choice that I might choose
But that just would not be right; it wouldn't help me sleep at night.
'though the kids may think it uncouth, I'm going to have to sing the truth.
chorus
Ab Db Eb
My parents love me even when it's hard to tell
and I just want to thank them for raising me so well.
Even if I deny it, I still know it's true.
Ab Db Eb
that my parents love me, and I'm sure yours love you.
Ever since I came to be, they fed, clothed, sheltered, cared for me.
Tried to teach me how to live and by example to forgive.
Though sometimes I might resent them or the God they represent.
Even if I scream and curse, I could have had it so much worse.
repeat chorus
G F Ab
I know someday I'm going to miss them.
Up in Heaven far a-way
Oh how happily I'll greet and kiss them
When I see them there some glorious day
