Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey Dad
Remember Sunday drives
Windows down
You humming out of time
You said
“Be kind
Even when you’re tired”
I didn’t get it then
I hear it now
Every long day ends
Hey Mom
Those midnight kitchen talks
You’d wait up just to hear me talk
You said
“You’re more than every grade you get”
I rolled my eyes and left
But the words outlived the rest
[Chorus]
So this is the letter I never sent
To say I learned what your silence meant
All the nights you stayed awake so I could dream
Every “I’m fine” that hid a seam
I’m still your boy
Even as I grow
If I don’t say it enough
I hope you know
You’re the best part of who I am
Dear Dad and Mom
That’s where I stand
[Verse 2]
Hey Dad
I wear your old coat now
Stuff the pockets with my own doubts
But I walk a little taller in your sleeves
Your steady hands
Your quiet please-and-thanks
Taught me more than any speech
Hey Mom
I caught your worried eyes
In my own face
In bathroom light
I say to my reflection what you’d say
“Breathe in
Breathe out
You’ll find your way somehow”
[Chorus]
So this is the letter I never sent
To say I learned what your crying meant
In the car
Alone
After dropping me off safe
How you folded all your fear away
I’m still your boy
Even as I grow
If I don’t say it enough
I hope you know
You’re the best part of who I am
Dear Dad and Mom
That’s where I stand
[Bridge]
One day I’ll have a doorstep too
Leave a light on like you do (oh)
If I love half as hard as you
That’ll be enough
That’ll be enough
[Chorus]
So this is the letter I had to send
Every word a quiet “thank you” in my chest
For the times you held me up when I gave in
For the second
Third
Fourth chance again
I’m still your boy
Even as I grow
If I don’t say it enough
I hope you know
You’re the best part of who I am
Dear Dad and Mom
Dear Dad and Mom
That’s where I stand
