Lyrics

Best Time I Ever Had

Mother, I thank you for your love
Father, I thank you for the times you made me mind
Sister, I thank you for playing with me
It was the best time I ever had

Brother I know we?re all grown up now
But I never forgot how you made me feel so big
I could touch the sky on your shoulders
Reach out and fly
It was the best time I ever had


(Break)
And even though I?m all grown up and on my own
I think back to you
It was the best time I ever had
It was the best time I ever had


Mother, I thank you for singing in the car on those long road trips
We sang song after song and before too long we were having fun
I could ride the waves of your laughter
Stretch out and smile
It was the best time I ever had

Father, I thank you for teaching me those card games
You?d let me win sometimes to build me up inside so I?d play again
You could chase away a monster
Make me warm inside
It was the best time I ever had


(Break)
And even though I?m all grown up and on my own
I think back to you
It was the best time I ever had
It was the best time I ever had


Sister, I thank you for dreaming your dreams with me
The 4th of July
The fireworks would fly
We?d watch the sky
Everything was magical
Anything seemed possible
It was the best time I ever had

Mother, I still need your smile
Father, I still need to hear your stories
Brother, I still need to sit upon your shoulders
It was the best time I ever had
It was the best time I ever had
