Zé Vibes - Dear Mom & Dad Lyrics

Dear mom and dad

I remember when you held me
In your arms so steady
Rockin' me to sleep

Dear mom and dad

I remember all the times that you wept
When I hurt or when I couldn't get to bed
Having me was such a struggle I bet

I can't imagine what it's like
To have a baby, this new life
As important as your own
But not sustainable alone
I needed you to help me through it

And you did so well
You raised me better than yourselves
Along with sis I had the time of my life
Even though it wasn't all the best of times

Dear mom and dad
(Ooh)
Dear mom and dad

If my mom had died
I wouldn't have anyone to love me better
Wouldn't have anyone to cry up under
If my momma died

Oh and if my dad had died
I wouldn't have anyone to kick the ball with
Wouldn't have anyone to make me stronger
If my daddy died

You took a trip over the seas
To fulfill all of your dreams
What you didn't seem to see
The two of you were meant to be
It was a simple day you met
Inside the bus and that was it

Years later you were married
Then you went and had a baby
Thanking God for my old sister
And thanking you for how you blessed her
Without you I would've missed her

In fact without you
I wouldn't have the chance
To go outside with my friends
To have some fun with the band
And get a job and have plans
To you I owe all my plans
'Cause you guys made me a man

Dear mom and dad
Dear mom and dad
Dear mom and dad

When my momma dies
I wanna thank her for all the times she loved me
Wanna thank her for all the times she hugged me
When my momma dies

And when my daddy dies
I wanna thank him for all the things he taught me
Wanna thank him for all the laughs he brought me
When my daddy dies

Dear mom and dad
