Theodric

I still laugh about the days when you were small

Running with your shadow down the hall

I’d whisper "our secret," tell you not to speak

But the second I'd scold you, you'd go on a streak

You’d run straight to your daddy, tell him what I said

Then you’d turn around and snitch on him instead

Oh, you always kept us on our toes back then

I'd give anything to live those simple days again

Oh, Theodric, you are my heartbeat

Walking through this world on your own two feet

I know your daddy is looking from above

So proud of the man you've become, filled with his love

You want me to live forever, but we know I can't stay

So let's just be thankful for another day

Ever since he passed on, you've been standing guard

Checking up on your mama, taking it so hard

You get so angry when I keep my troubles inside

You want my life worry-free, with nothing to hide

I know you just love me, trying to carry the weight

But I don't want you stressing from early to late

I'm doing alright, son, you don't have to fight every storm

Just sitting here beside you keeps my spirit warm

Oh, Theodric, you are my heartbeat

Walking through this world on your own two feet

I know your daddy is looking from above

So proud of the man you've become, filled with his love

You want me to live forever, but we know I can't stay

So let's just be thankful for another day

You want me to live forever, I know that it's true

And if I had the power, I'd do it for you

But we both know the truth, how the time slips away

So let's let go of the worry and hold on to today

We can't change the future, we can't change the past

But we can make these precious moments last

'Cause Theodric, you are my heartbeat

The finest piece of my soul I could ever meet

I know your daddy is looking from above

So proud of the man you've become, shining with love

You want me to live forever, but we know I can't stay

So let's just be thankful for another day

Yeah, let's just be thankful for another day

My beautiful son, I'm thankful for another day
