Thumbprint

[Instrumental intro] [verse 1] Clomping in mom's slippers and falling down the stairs; Paperdolls and miniatures, tea parties with our teddy bears. Fighting off our nightmares with Raggedy Ann, Cuddling on movie night beneath the old afghan. [chorus] So many memories I cherish each day; So many little things have shaped the me I am today; You've left a thumbprint on each minute of my heart, I hope you realize this even when we are apart [verse 2] 'Teeth' along the roadside, rocket 'launching' in the truck Hours of patience helping us in math when we got stuck Singing all our favorite songs each morning, off to school Watching us 'perform' and parties in the swimming pool [chorus] So many memories I cherish each day; So many little things have shaped the me I am today; You've left a thumbprint on each minute of my heart, I hope you realize this even when we are apart [verse 3] Late nights making dinosaurs, freezing in the snow Hot chocolate and cookie bribes to come and thaw our toes Dad's big black chair for cuddles, and mom's to shelter in Climbing trees and climbing rocks and bruises on our shins [break] [bridge] Dad's percolating coffee pot, drinking awful stuff we bought, (The flavored stuff you swallowed down with grim resolve); All the care when we were sick, the birthday party games and tricks, Mom's earl grey tea and backrubs, secret messages to solve (Every minute you were were there) [chorus] So many memories I cherish each day; So many little things have shaped the me I am today; You've left a thumbprint on each minute of my heart, I hope you realize this even when we are apart I hope you realize this even when we are apart (I love you) [instrumental Outro] [end] [end]
