Then They Do

In the early rush of mornin' 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 backseat 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 till they grow up Then they do and that's how it is It's just quiet in the mornin' 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 startin' college She'll be livin' in the fall And Brianna's latest boyfriend Called to ask, "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 and that's how it is It's just quiet in the mornin' 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 carpools 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 mornin' 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 then they do
