IN THE EARLY RUSH
OF MORNING
TRYIN' TO GET THE
KIDS TO SCHOOL
ONE'S HANGIN' ON
MY SHIRT TAIL
ANOTHER'S LOCKED
UP IN HER ROOM
AND I'M YELLIN' UP
THE STAIRS
STOP WORRYIN'
ABOUT YOUR HAIR
YOU LOOK FINE
THEN THEY'RE
FIGHTIN'
IN THE BACK SEAT
AND I'M PLAYIN'
REFEREE
NOW SOMEONE'S
GOTTA GO
THE MOMENT THAT
WE LEAVE
AND EVERYBODY'S
LATE
I SWEAR I CAN'T
WAIT
'TIL 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 ASKED IF
WE COULD TALK
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
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 CAR POOLS
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 AND THEN THEY DO
