~Then They Do~
by Trace Adkins

This page is dedicated to my kids.






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

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

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 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

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, they do.

Traci, Duke, Jaimee, Amber & Jen-
You'll never know how very much I miss you.
You're all wonderful and I'm so proud of you.

I Love You-
~Mom~
