It’s About Time

Lyrics

Another fourteen hour day Crisis solved, deadline made I came home like always tired and beat Threw dinner in the microwave Beside it on the counter lay A letter from my wife addressed to me It said, I know you're working hard that's easy to see Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me We've had less to work with but we've always worked it out A house and yard, clothes and cars ain't all it's all about It's about time that you're not givin' life, that you're not livin' Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice That our dreams are slowly fadin' Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'? Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice? 'Cause if we are, you need to realize, it's about time While you were on a business trip, too bad you had to miss Your spittin' image hit the winnin' run You know he adores you, he was looking for you Remember that you promised him you'd come And did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today? She put it underneath her pillow and tried to stay awake I laid down beside her, didn't want to sleep alone This is not about not loving, can't you see what's going on? It's about time that you're not givin' life, that you're not livin' Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice That our dreams are slowly fadin' Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'? And don't you think we're worth the sacrifice? 'Cause if we are, you need to realize, it's about time I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep One by one I tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek I stood there and thought about how selfish I had been And how one day without 'em would be more than I could stand And now I understand It's about time I should be givin' Life I should be livin' Keepin' my focus, let 'em know I notice That the thing that's most important Is sharing in each moment Heaven knows they're worth the sacrifice It's not too late now that I realize It's about time It's not too late now that I realize It's about time
