Livin' on a mountain top, down in Alabam'
Delighted that you're here with me eatin' breakfast ham
Nothin' like your sweet cornbread in the afternoon
Just about supper time you waltz into the room
And dancin' in the living room I look into your eyes 
And think of all the cookies, cakes and homemade apple pies

Chorus:
And the tenderness you give as you tend to my needs
Makes me work even harder sometimes brings me to my knees


Dependin' on the time of day we have a little snack
It could be on the sofa or in the shed out back
A big wet kiss to finish up and holdin' you real tight
Makes me feel right skinny, and man that's outta sight

Chorus:
And the tenderness you give as you tend to my needs
Makes me work even harder sometimes brings me to my knees

As we sit and watch our daughter
Shiftin' through the mud for worms
We laugh until the sunsets fakin' eatin' mudpies as she squirms
And the wonder that we feel
As we watch her start to bloom
There is no flower as beautiful
One day the boys will swoon

One day we'll be sittin' in our daughter's kitchen nook 
laughin at the way she holds baby while she tries to cook

And the way that she tends 
To her man's every need
Makes him work even harder 
and brings him to his knees

The flower is full open
The bees are buzzin' round
As we lay down together
And listen to the sound
Of our grandchildren laughin'
And playin' in the sun
While eatin' daughter's cookies 
And havin' lots of fun

And the tenderness you gave 
As you tended to our needs
Made me work even harder
Sometimes brought me to my knees
Our days are not forgotten
As we live on through our seed

End
