Lyric

Every precious day, tears fill my eyes

I see myself in both of you, in your lives

I’m happy, though I don’t want to age

Time keeps moving, turning life’s page

Dad, you always stayed silent till the end

But even when I wasn’t there, your care would send

Anger to those who made me feel small

You protected me, you stood tall

Mom, you stumbled, unsure, a little lost

Even in messes, no matter the cost

You always waited, patient and kind

Holding my anxious hands, calming my mind

So please, eat well and stay happy too

I’m doing okay, and I wish the same for you

I want to hold a baby one day, it’s true

But I’ll miss you—though I know we must move through

All these precious days together, hand in hand

And if you ever feel alone or afraid

I’ll hold your hand, I won’t let it fade

If loneliness creeps in, I’ll come by

To see your smile, hear your sigh

Every precious day, tears still shine

I see myself in you both, and I’m fine

I’m grateful, though I fear the years

I treasure every moment, laughter and tears

So please, stay happy, eat well, and smile

I’ll cherish you always, mile after mile

Though I grow older, and life moves fast

The love you gave me will always last
