I remember when your dad got sick
Wasn't a mountain that you wouldn't move
You gave everything you had to give
'Cause you knew you had everything to lose

One day, I'll take care of you like you took care of him
I'll drive you to the mall, I'll stock your bar with gin
I'll love you through the lows just like you always did
One day, before we know it, parents become the kids

I remember when I couldn't sleep
You were always there by my side
And if someone ever broke my heart
You would dry all of the tears that I cried

And one day, I'll take care of you like you took care of me
I'll drive you to the mall, I'll buy your groceries
I'll love you through the lows just like you always did
One day, before we know it, parents become the kids

And it might never happen
But if I ever have them

I hope that someday they'll take care of me like I'll take care of them
They'll drive me to the mall, they'll be there in the end
They'll love me through the lows just like you always did
One day, before we know it, there ain't much life to live
One day, before we know it, parents become the kids

And one day, I'll take care of you like you took care of me
