Then They Do

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One's hanging on my shirt-tail
Another's locked up in her room
And I'm yelling up the stairs
"Stop worrying 'bout your hair, you look fine"

Then they're fightin' in the back seat
And I'm playing referee
Now someone's gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody's late
I swear that I can't wait 'til they grow up

(Chorus):
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 starting college
She'll be leavin' in the fall
And Brianna's latest boyfriend
Called to ask if we could talk
And 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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

Ah, then they do
