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
