Madrigal 1
To our parents:
Fa-la-la-la
These songs of joy from heaven above,
expresses our thoughts of life and love.
Fa-la-la-la
We give you thanks for what we are,
without your guidance we'd have gone afar.
Fa-la-la-la
Thanks to you we can surely say,
we wouldn't be here this very day.
Fa-la-la-la

Madrigal 2
We don't remember much of our first few years with you,
it was just the beginning of a love tried and true.
Mothers are like saints, receiving guidance from above.
But most of all you've been a friend, and we thank you for your love.
We tested your patience, in mamy, many ways.
But you were always present to make easier our days.
Mothers are like saints, receiving guidance from above.
But most of all you've been a friend, and we thank you for your love.

Madrigal 3
If you were like most other dads this song would simply say,
sure wish you well and hope you have a very happy day.
But you're no ordinary dad, you're special through and through.
So want to add we're really glad to have a dad like you.
If you were like most other dads this song would simply sing,
the best of times and happiness this day will surely bring.
But you're no ordinary dad, you're special through and through.
So want to add we're really glad to have a dad like you.
If you were like most other dads this song would simply chant,
sure hope this day will bring to you what ever you want.
But you're no ordinary dad, you're special through and through.
So want to add we're really glad to have a dad like you.
To our parents, may God bless you.
