DAD AND MOM Copyright © 1968 Jeff Linder
Wind Walker


Loved ones are here today
We don't think about them
And when they are gone
They are in our minds all the time.

Why can't we care
When they are here
Why don't we show
What we feel ?

Maybe it's not our nature
To be emotional
But we should try
To be a little nicer.

It's hard to say
What we are feeling
It's hard to show
How much we care.

When I was a youngster
It mattered not to me
Until I saw
What they had done for me.

And then I knew
What love was
And I loved them back
With all of my soul.

Daddy, Mama, please listen to me
I love you for the things you've done.
Daddy, Mama, I want you to know
How glad I am to be your son.
