Children Drive You Crazy!!!


Children will drive you crazy. I said, they’ll drive you mad

Mom carries, labors and delivers them and the first word they say is Dad

Then they get older and toddle around,

step in your shoes and look like a clown

The first years are so hectic, the long nights won’t end

It’s diapers and bottles and crying, no social life, no friends

But oh how those years seem to fly and you look back breathe deep and sigh

How could you miss it? How could that be?

It seems just like yesterday when they climbed on your knee

Asking the questions of what, who and why,

“Are we there yet?” “Are we there yet?” ‘til you just want to cry

Yes, Children will drive you crazy. I said, they’ll drive you mad

‘cause next it’s parties and dating and driving

and you feel like those first years weren’t bad

Now they want the car keys to go to the game,

Won’t hear of walking, it’s just not the same

Then they finish with school and they’ve met someone “great”

And you lay there listening when they sneak in the house late

Then all of a sudden they want to move out

They've got to find their own way, see what this world’s all about

And more then anything now you wish they were small

Because you remember the days when you were their “all”

And you feel a bit crazy and just a bit mad

Thinking back on those days and the memories you’ve had

And though you’re happy for them, you wish they’d not go

Because time went too quickly and you want them to know

That if you had it to do over, you’d do it again

Children are gifts sent from Heaven to treasure within

And though they can just drive you crazy and a little bit mad

You’d never trade one moment of the time that you had

We Believed


I felt his hand on my shoulder, saw the look in his eye
and it made me catch my breath though I wasn’t certain why.
I thought I’d heard the angels sing when he softly spoke to me,
It was like I’d been locked away and suddenly set free

Born of desperation and dreams, we’d found what we’d asked for
and with the rising of the sun, we’d finally felt our hearts soar
Together we believed in so many things
We’re sailing to the sunset upon the eagles wings

Before I tasted passion sweet warm enchanting wine,
I knew I needed something I could not quite define
I felt it all inside me growing stronger every day
and when we came together, I knew I’d found my way

Born of desperation and dreams, we’d found what we’d asked for
and with the rising of the sun, we’d finally felt our hearts soar
Together we believed in so many things
We’re sailing to the sunset upon the eagles wings

We’ll make every day much better, setting fire to the skies
Never looking back again, ‘cause time so swiftly flies
And I won’t lose my way again, I know what I can do
And I want to share it all, I want to share it all with you

Born of desperation and dreams, we’d found what we’d asked for
and with the rising of the sun, we’d finally felt our hearts soar
Together we believed in so many things
We’re sailing to the sunset upon the eagles wings …
We’re sailing to the sunset upon the eagles wings .... upon his wings
