Then They Do

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 about your hair You look fine Then they're fighting in the backseat And 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 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 leaving 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 Sitting in their frames I see them as babies I guess that'll never change You pray all their lives That some day they will find happiness 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 No more Monday PTAs No carpools or soccer games Your work is done Now you've got time that's all your own You've been waiting for so long For those days to come 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 Oh, then they do
