1. And Then They Do – Trace Adkins

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One’s hanging on my shirttail
Another’s locked up
In her room
And I’m yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying ’bout your hair
You look fine

Then they’re fightin’ in the backseat
I’m playing referee
Now someone’s gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody’s late
I swear that I can’t wait
‘Till they grow up

(Chorus) Then they do
And that’s how it is
It’s just quiet in the morning
Can’t believe
How much you miss
All they do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come true
Then they do

Now the youngest is starting college
She’ll be leavin’ in the Fall
And Brianna’s latest boyfriend
Called to ask if we could talk
And I got the impression
That he’s about to pop the question any day

I look over at their pictures
Sittin’ in their frames
I see them as babies
I guess that’ll never change
You pray all their lives
That someday they will find happiness

(Chorus)

No more Monday PTA’s
No carpools
Or soccer games
Your work is done
Now you’ve got time
That’s all your own
You’ve been waitin’ for so long
For those days to come

2. Heart To Heart (Stelen’s Song) - Toby Keith
I watched him throw his oatmeal bowl
Halfway across the kitchen floor
His momma said don’t let me see you do that anymore

And he let loose with a cup of orange juice
Right down the back of her dress
Without a doubt she lined him out
Then cleaned up the mess

Now he is just a chip off of the old block
Just like me we keep her on her toes a lot

But when he cries she’ll match him tear for tear
When he laughs she’ll grin from ear to ear
When he’s wrong they’ll stand there face to face
She can put him in his place
Side by side and hand in hand
She’ll talk with daddy’s little man
He knows that she’s done her part
I’m watching God’s love grow
Heart to heart

He’ll grow to be six foot three
Yeah he’s gonna be just like me
He’ll be tall and play football
But he’ll always be a momma’s boy

And when he cries she’ll match him tear for tear
When he laughs she’ll grin from ear to ear
When he’s wrong they’ll stand there face to face
She can put him in his place
Side by side and hand in hand
She’ll talk with daddy’s little man
He knows that she’s done her part
I’m watching God’s love grow
Heart to heart

3. 20 Years Late - Aaron Lines
Oh hey mom I know that its late hope I didn’t wake you
And yeah Everything is ok I just needed to talk to you
Today, I had one of those days, but I didn’t call to complain
Just to say everything that I didn’t for all of those years

You were a taxi cab driver, a nurse and a maid, a waitress, a cook and a shoulder to lay my head on to cry on when nothing
was going my way

You knew every answer without cracking a book and I took for granite (I don’t know how to spell this) that I had it so good
And im sorry its taken me so long to say
thank you I love you
20 years late

Its funny how time passing by could change your perspective.
A little while out on your own can sure make you think

I don’t know how you did it no I cant find one spare minute
The days run together but I don’t remember you ever letting us down

You were the judge and the juror when I did wrong
Been my biggest fan from my very first song
The gas and the engine that always kept me moving on

A seamstress, a counselor and the one with the reed at the coast of a fight between my brother and me and im sorry its taken
me so long to say

I thank you I love you twenty years late

Ohhhhhh.

I’ll let you go now but I hope you know now how I feel
Thank you for making me the man I’ve become
I love you and I will always be your son
Mom that’s all I called to say

20 years late.

Ohhhh yeeeaaahhh.

4. My Wish - Rascal Flatts
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you want to go,
and if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
and if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin’ ’til you find the window,
if it’s cold outside,
show the world the warmth of your smile,
more than anything, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
all the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
and you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake,
and you always give more then you take.

But more than anything, Yeah, and more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
to your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

5. I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

6. Through the Years – Kenny Rogers
I can’t remember when you weren’t there
When I didn’t care for anyone but you
I swear we’ve been through everything there is
Can’t imagine anything we’ve missed
Can’t imagine anything the two of us can’t do

Through the year, you’ve never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I’ve found
I’ve found with you … Through the years
I’ve never been afraid, I’ve loved the life we’ve made
And I’m so glad I’ve stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can’t remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you’ve taught me everything I know
Can’t imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I’ve always been so glad
To be with you … Through the years
It’s better everyday, you’ve kissed my tears away
As long as it’s okay, I’ll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you … Through the years
I never had a doubt, we’d always work things out
I’ve learned what love’s about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you’ve never let me down
You’ve turned my life around, the sweetest days I’ve found
I’ve found with you … Through the years
It’s better everyday, you’ve kissed my tears away
As long as it’s okay, I’ll stay with you
Through the years!
