Thank God For Mama And Daddy

Tim Tyl

Sides Face, Grand Square
I remember back when I was just a young boy
Of mom and dad and my sweet family
Times were hard but we always seemed to make it
God seemed to know our every need
Allemande Left, Weave the Ring
We thank you for mama and daddy
And for placin' us in their lovin' care
And for givin' us a Christian home and the good times that we shared
And for all the time down on their knees in prayer

And on Sundays we would gather 'round our table
And thank God for how he blessed our family
And for giving us a loving mama and daddy
And for all the time down on their knees

Mama and daddy, they've been gone for some time now
And that old house gets lonesome now and then
But in the quiet we still can hear their laughter
And recall some memories
...
And on Sundays we still gather 'round that table
And thank God for how he blessed our family
And for giving us a loving mama and daddy
And for all the time they spent in prayer down on their knees

Heads Pass the Ocean, Swing Thru
Extend, by the Right, Cast Off 3/4 Round
Make a new wave, Centers Trade
Split Circulate, Girls Run Right, All Circle Left
Allemande Left new corner, and Right & Left Grand
Count three and on third hand, Promenade
We thank you God for mama and daddy,
And for placin' us in their lovin' care

And for all the time we spent on our knees in prayer
