I never got to thank you
For the things I got to do
The family that I got to know
It was all thanks to you
Hearing bedtime stories
And baking fudge with Mom
Going to the zoo for the day
And having lots of fun
Going to the amusement park
And riding the scary rides
Despite the fear I may have felt
I had my family by my side
Learning to ride a bike
With Dad holding onto me
Having fun at the beach all day
With a beautiful sunset to see
Putting up decorations
And a big green Christmas tree
Baking Christmas cookies
With my family
I never got to thank you
For the things I got to do
I never got to thank you
Because I never knew
