We sail through life often without a thought or a care For a mother and father who have always been there It's only when you experience sadness and strife That it comes in a flash the real meaning of life Because when you are troubled and in the depths of despair You suddenly find its mum and dad who are there Picking up the pieces putting your life back together Coming to your aid in all kinds of weather We don't often say it and there's no doubt that we should Thank you we love you were coming out of the wood
