At any given time there's someone screaming.
At any given point there's hell to pay.
I wanna lock myself away
And hide 'til the end of the day
When they're sleeping, sleeping.
Well, it's not like I forget the hormones raging.
They'd be amazed to know I understand,
But all the sympathy in the world
Doesn't ease on the demands
On my patience, patience.
Chorus:
And I remind myself I love them
As I recall their younger days.
I miss the wide eyed wonder
Long before their teenage ways.
And each day I must remember
That this "joy" will someday end,
And perhaps, if heaven smile on me,
They'll one day be my friends.
Oh, I hope that heaven smiles on me,
And one day we'll be friends.
Well, I know what's coming when they say, "I love you,"
And I brace myself for just what I'm in for,
But the truth is, I'm just happy
To see them out the door,
And then it's peaceful, so peaceful.
Chorus.
Oh, I know this sounds a bit like I'm complaining,
Like I don't appreciate the fun they bring.
Oh, my little angel joys --
Without them, what would I sing?
Well, that's the question, the question.
Chorus.
