It's About Time Lyrics - Byrd Tracy

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
