Lyrics

We always think we have so much time \ Spend forever on the nickel and dime \ Who knows when you reach the end of the line

If I listen close I can hear you whisper \
Remember baby face kissing Daddy's whisker \ We'd circle up and sing "Mama-mia come on home" any time we missed her \ A kangaroo ride in sawdust covered Carhartts after coming home in the pitch dark \ A promise kept from a worn out worker to a kid with a full heart

I'll meet you in my dreams, keep you alive in my memory \ I'm catching up but you're so far ahead of me \ I'll make you proud of me

I remember getting calls when I was way overdue \ "Want to make sure that you're breathing, haven't heard from you" \ It drove me crazy - I could see straight through and I wouldn't say I'm sorry \ Now I wish for that long belated call to hear that you're still breathing - haven't heard from you at all \ Did the big one pull you in or did time just get away from a kid with a full heart
