Patty Griffin - Mom & Dad's Waltz Lyrics

Patty Griffin Lyrics

"Mom & Dad's Waltz"

I'd walk for miles
Cry or smile
For my mama and daddy
I want them
I want them to know

How I feel
My love is real
For my mama and daddy
I want them to know
I love them so

In my heart
Joy tears start
'Cause I'm happy
And I pray
Every day
For mom and pappy

And each night
I'd walk for miles
Cry or smile
For my mama and daddy
I want them to know
I love them so

I'd fight in wars
Do all the chores
For my mama and daddy
I want them to live on
Till they're called

I'd work and slave
And never rave
For my mama and daddy
Because I know
I owe them my all

In my heart
Joy tears start
'Cause I'm happy
And I pray
Every day
For mom and pappy

And each night
I'd walk for miles
Cry or smile
For my mama and daddy
I want them to know
I love them so
I love them so
