"Then They Do"

In the early rush of morning trying to get the kids to school
One's hanging on my shirttail, another's locked up in her room
And I'm yelling up the stairs,
"Stop worrying about your hair. You look fine."

Then they're fighting in the backseat; I'm playing 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 morning
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 leaving in the fall
Brianna's latest boyfriend called to ask if we could talk
I got the impression
He's about to pop the question any day.

I look over at their pictures sitting in their frames
I see them as babies, guess that'll never change
You pray all their lives someday they will find happiness.

Then they do, and that's how it is
It's just quiet in the morning
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 waiting for so long for those days to come.

Then they do, and that's how it is
It's just quiet in the morning
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.
