The Beautiful Things We Miss

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She puts on her makeup And the last dress she remembers that turned his head That time he said, "You look beautiful" At six, the front door opens And he doesn't even notice Kisses her cheek "Baby, when do we eat? I'm starving" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the beautiful things we miss... [Chorus] I don't wanna miss it I don't wanna look back someday and find Everything that really mattered Was right in front of me this whole time Open up my eyes, Lord Keep me in the moment just like this Before the beautiful things we love Become the beautiful things we miss [Verse 2] She hides out in her headphones Texting on her cell phone Daddy's girl built a world behind her bedroom door While he was working hard and providing Bigger houses still get divided Just yesterday she was on his shoulders but today she's older Why do we get older? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the beautiful things we miss... [Chorus] I don't wanna miss it I don't wanna look back someday and find Everything that really mattered Was right in front of me this whole time Open up my eyes, Lord Keep me in the moment just like this Before the beautiful things we love Become the beautiful things we miss [Bridge] We don't get to rewind There's no such thing as next time Help me remember, help me remember We don't get this back They were right when they said "don't blink" It all goes faster than you think Lord, help me remember, help me remember The beautiful things we miss [Chorus] I don't wanna miss it I don't wanna look back someday and find Everything that really mattered Was right in front of me this whole time Open up my eyes, Lord Keep me in the moment just like this Before the beautiful things we love Become the beautiful things we miss [Outro] Open up my eyes, Lord Open up my eyes, Lord I don't want to miss it No, I don't want to miss it Open up my eyes, Lord Open up my eyes, Lord Before the beautiful things I love Become the beautiful things I miss
