In the early rush of morning,
Trying to get the kids to school
Ones hanging on my shirt-tail,
Anothers locked up in her room.
And Im yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying bout your hair, you look fine.
Then theyre fightin in the backseat,
And Im playing referee.
Now someones gotta go,
The moment that we leave.
And everybodys late,
I swear that I cant wait till they grow up.
Then they do, and thats how it is.
Its just quiet in the mornin,
Cant 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,
Shell be leavin in the Fall.
And Briannas latest boyfriend,
Called to ask if we could talk.
And I got the impression,
That hes about to pop the question any day.
I look over at their pictures,
Sittin in their frames.
I see them as babies
I guess thatll never change.
You pray all their lives,
That someday they will find happiness.
Then they do, and thats how it is.
Its just quiet in the mornin,
Cant 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 PTAs,
No carpools, or soccer games.
Your work is done.
Now youve got time thats all your own.
Youve been waitin for so long,
For those days to come.
Then they do, and thats how it is.
Its just quiet in the mornin,
Cant 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.
Ah, then they do.
