The Beautiful Things We Miss Lyrics - Matthew West

She puts on her makeup 

And the last dress she remembers that turned his head 

That time he said, "You look beautiful" 

At six, the front door opens 

And he doesn't even notice 

Kisses her cheek 

"Baby, when do we eat 

I'm starving" 

Oh, the beautiful things we miss 

I don't wanna miss it 

I don't wanna look back someday and find 

Everything that really mattered 

Was right in front of me this whole time 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

Keep me in the moment just like this 

Before the beautiful things we love 

Become the beautiful things we miss

She hides out in her headphones 

Texting on her cell phone 

Daddy's girl built a world behind her bedroom door 

While he was working hard and providing 

Bigger houses still get divided 

Just yesterday she was on his shoulders, but today she's older 

Why do we get older 

Oh, the beautiful things we miss 

I don't wanna miss it 

I don't wanna look back someday and find 

Everything that really mattered 

Was right in front of me this whole time 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

Keep me in the moment just like this 

Before the beautiful things we love 

Become the beautiful things we miss

We don't get to rewind 

There's no such thing as next time 

Help me remember, help me remember, we don't get this back 

They were right when they said don't blink 

It all goes faster than you think 

Lord, help me remember, help me remember 

The beautiful things we miss 

I don't wanna miss it 

I don't wanna look back someday and find 

Everything that really mattered 

Was right in front of me this whole time 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

Keep me in the moment just like this 

Before the beautiful things we love 

Become the beautiful things we miss 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

I don't want to miss it 

No, I don't want to miss it 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

Open up my eyes, Lord 

Before the beautiful things I love 

Become the beautiful things I miss
