It`s About Time

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