mom and dad's waltz lyrics

(I'll never forget the night that Lefty Frizzell
Call me at home back in December of 1974
He sang me a song on the phone that he and D. Shafer written
And they called it a Bandy And A Rodeo Clown
I was really thrilled and flattered that he take enough time
To help write a song just for me
I'm sorry that he couldn't be around to see how much that song helped me
For he passed away in August of 1975 shortly after that song was released
It's a special song to me and I guess it always will be
Here's another song that I guess it's my favorite of all the songs he ever wrote
And I'd like to dedicate it to his memory and my mom and dad)

I'd walk for miles cry or smile for mama and daddy
I love them I want them to know
Now I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

In my heart the joy tears start cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
[ steel ]
In my heart the joy tears start...
