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
