Daddy and mom

June the seventh, nineteen eighty-two

Dennis Ray and Connie Jo, two lives made new

Daddy, you were twenty-two, Mom was seventeen

Marie Puryear signed her name to build your dream

Sixteen ninety-five on the Fayetteville Highway

At Fannie B. Carter's place, love found a way

Daddy and Mom, you're my very best friends

A bond like ours, it never ends

I wouldn't change a single thing about you two

Look at all the beautiful things that love can do

You're not just my old parents, you're my guiding light

Thank you for my life, you did everything right

October eighty-three, a seed in the oven baking

April twenty-eighth, eighty-four, my world was waking

Latasha Marie Carter arrived, fully baked and true

Then September brought another seed to grow for you

May thirteenth, eighty-five, Dennis Junior was fully baked

Daddy working at Faber-Castell for the family's sake

Daddy and Mom, you're my very best friends

A bond like ours, it never ends

I wouldn't change a single thing about you two

Look at all the beautiful things that love can do

You're not just my old parents, you're my guiding light

Thank you for my life, you did everything right

This is the best memory that I could ever hold

The story of our family as the years unfold

From the vows that you made when you were so young

To the gospel of our lives that is beautifully sung

I'm so glad we're close, I'm so glad we're here

My daddy and my mom, I hold you so dear

Daddy and Mom, you're my very best friends

A bond like ours, it never ends

I wouldn't change a single thing about you two

Look at all the beautiful things that love can do

You're not just my old parents, you're my guiding light

Thank you for my life, you did everything right
