Its 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 youre workin hard thats easy to see

Tryin to provide the best for the kids and me

Weve had less to work with

But weve always worked it out

A house and yard, clothes and cars aint all its all about



Its about time that youre not givin

Life that youre not livin

Losin your focus, not knowin you dont notice

That our dreams are slowly fading

Are you hearin what Im sayin

Dont you think were worth the sacrifice

Cause if we are, you need to realize

Its 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 youd 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, didnt want to sleep alone

This is not about "not loving" cant you see whats goin on



Its about time that youre not givin

Life that youre not livin

Losin your focus, not knowin you dont notice

That our dreams are slowly fading

Are you hearin what Im sayin

Dont you think were worth the sacrifice

Cause if we are, you need to realize

Its 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



Its about time I should be givin

Life I should be livin

Keepin my focus and let em know I notice

That the thing thats most important

Is sharing in each moment

Heaven knows theyre worth the sacrifice

Its not too late now, that I realize

Its about time



Its not too late now, that I realize

Its about time
