Make Up For Lost Time

They're doing everything together

You couldn't pull the two apart

He's the apple of his eye

And the essence of his heart

When he thinks about his childhood

All he finds is disbelief

So he does his best to give the love

He never did receive

Every waking hour

Every minute of the day

Every walk and every talk

And every game they play

Every ball they throw

And every tree they climb

There's never been a better moment

To make up for lost time

Well, he hardly has a memory

Of when his old man was alive

Just remembers slamming doors

And he hears his mama cry

She sees a boy that's ten years old

Lonesome and forlorn

So he made a vow

On the day his son was born

Every waking hour

Every minute of the day

Every walk and every talk

And every game they play

Every ball they throw

And every tree they climb

There's never been a better moment

To make up for lost time

Now the future has blue eyes

And a name just like his own

He can't wait to see the man he'll be

The day that he's all grown

Every waking hour

Every minute of the day

Every walk and every talk

And every game they play

Every ball they throw

And every tree they climb

There's never been a better moment

To make up for lost time

There's never been a better moment

To make up for lost time
