Then they do by Trace Adkins - http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

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 'bout your hair
You look fineThen they're fightin' in the backseat
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
'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 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

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

You raise me up by Josh Groban - http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up To more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up To more than I can be

I'll remember by Madonna - http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

Say good-bye to not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say goodbye to not knowing how to cry
You taught me that

first time substitute strength for love and saved for changed

And I'll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you changed me
I'll remember

Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing

I learned to let go of the illusion that we can possess
I learned to let go, I travel in stillness
And I'll remember happiness
I'll remember [I'll remember]
Mm I'll remember
Mm

I'll remember

No I've never been afraid to cry
Now I finally have a reason why
I'll remember I'll remember

Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

I remember Daddy´s hands, folded silently in prayer
And reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare

You could read quite a story in the callouses and lines
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember Daddy´s hands how they held my Mama tight
And patted my back for something done right

There are things that I´ve forgotten that I loved about the man
But I´ll always remember the love in Daddy´s hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy´s hands were hard as steel when I´d done wrong
Daddy´s hands weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand
There was always love in Daddy´s hands

I remember Daddy´s hands working 'til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over I´d live my life again
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy´s hands were hard as steel when I´d done wrong
Daddy´s hands weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand

There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy´s hands were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.

Daddy´s hands weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand
There was always love
In Daddy´s hands.

Daddy, let's dance by Jamie Tate http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

Remember when I’d stand on your shoes
Hoping for some time with just you
I’d hold on tight cause I’d wanna play
You’d look down at me that’s when I’d say

Daddy, let’s dance
Twirl me around, don’t let me fall
Daddy, let’s dance
Hold me right now, give me one song
Daddy, let’s dance

Remembering my first high school prom
You said to me, where’s the time gone
A knock at the door, but he’ll have to wait
The first dance is daddy’s, so we’ll just be late

You’ve walked with me all through my life
Today’s walk has made me a wife
Smiles with tear drops, it’s my special day
But, I’m still your little girl, so I’ve got to say
Daddy, let’s dance

Can you feel the love tonight by Elton John http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Because you loved me by Celine Dion http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ’coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

Through the Years by Kenny Roger http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

I cant remember when you werent there
When I didnt care for anyone but you
I swear weve been through everything there is
Cant imagine anything weve missed
Cant imagine anything the two of us cant do

Through the years, youve never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days Ive found
Ive found with you, through the years
Ive never been afraid, Ive loved the life weve made
And Im so glad Ive stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I cant remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear youve taught me everything I know
Cant imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, Ive always been so glad
To be with you, through the years
Its better everyday, youve kissed my tears away
As long as its okay, Ill stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you, through the years
I never had a doubt, wed always work things out
Ive learned what loves about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, youve never let me down
Youve turned my life around, the sweetest days Ive found
Ive found with you ... through the years
Its better everyday, youve kissed my tears away
As long as its okay, Ill stay with you
Through the years

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she's Daddy's little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony Daddy it's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy but I sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must of done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her Mama a little more everyday
One part woman the other part girl
To perfume and makeup from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world but I remember.

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you Daddy but if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time
With all that I've done wrong I must of done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time oh, like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today she'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bridegroom just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking and I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl and she leaned over.

Gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

Walk me down the aisle Daddy it's just about time.
Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy? Daddydon't cry
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must of done something right.

deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is
I know I gotta let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.

 Child of mine by Carole King http://www.nypartygigs.com/public/forum/posts/id_125/page_1/

Although you see the world different than me

sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see.
And all the new colors and pictures you've designed
oh yes sweet darling so glad you are a child of mine.

Child of mine, child of mine, oh yes sweet darling
so glad you are a child of mine.

You don't need direction you know which way to go
and I don't want to hold you back I just want to watch you grow
You're the one who taught me you don't have to look behind.
Oh yes sweet darling so glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine child of mine, oh yes sweet darling
so glad you are a child of mine.

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
or tell you how to live your life
There'll always be people who make it hard for a while
but you'll change their heads when they see you smile.

The times you were born in may not have been the best,
but you can make the times to come better than the rest
I know you will be honest if you can't always be kind
oh yes sweet darling, so glad you are a child of mine.
