Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wake up on the floor My neck is all wacked out Two kids are in my place The boy begins to wail He hasn't yet been fed The girl is running late [Pre-Chorus] It's easy to take this moment for granted Feel irritated and disenchanted Let's take a second for sober reflection One of these days this is all gonna have to end [Chorus] We'll have an empty nest Our kids will have flown Then we'll have all of the time to rest And miss what is gone [Post-Chorus] Sitting in the room in the evening Talk about the past that one has Cherish every day we have We'll have an empty nest [Verse 2] There are joyful moments too Holidays with the folks And hunting Easter eggs The simple Sunday mornings When we all just lie in bed And read Calvin and Hobbes [Pre-Chorus] It's easy to take our happiness for granted Sometimes it seems that we always will have it But let's take a second for sober reflection One of these days this is all gonna have to end [Chorus] We'll have an empty nest Our kids will have flown Then we'll have all of the time to rest And miss what is gone [Post-Chorus] Sitting in the room in the evening Talk about the past that one has Cherish every day we have And we'll have an empty nest [Bridge] Sometimes it's hard to know what to do We want to do what is best for them But even if we do everything right No especially if we do everything right One of these days [Chorus] We'll have an empty nest Our kids will be gone Then we'll have all of the time to rest And miss what is gone [Post-Chorus] Sitting in the room in the evening Talk about the past that one has Cherish every day that we have We'll have an empty nest We'll have an empty nest We'll have an empty nest
