It`s About Time — текст песни (Tracy Byrd)

(Curtis Wright/Jim Collins)

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
