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 workin' 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 fading
|
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
|
|
When you were on a business trip, to bad you had to miss
|
Your spittin' image hit the winning run
|
You know he adores you, he was lookin' for you
|
Remember that you promised him you'd come
|
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 goin' 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 fading
|
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
|
|
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 and 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
|
