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
