The glory days are now
I seem to forget somehow
Lost In the moment
Time is my opponent
I don’t tolerate tears as I should
I don’t acknowledge fears but I could
I could be an all star father
I could raise a son and daughter
To be
Better than me
But I take it all for granted
And they’re growing, I’m disenchanted
With me
And what I should be
I don’t push him on the swing
I don’t listen to her sing
As much as I should
I’m squandering their childhood
Seems like all I do
Is demand from my point of view
“Don’t do this don’t do that
That’s it! Go sit on the mat
Guys, come on, Pick up your shoes
Who colored the carpet blue?!”
But I take it all for granted
And they’re growing, I’m disenchanted
With me
And what I should be
I’ve gotta let it all go
There’s an ending to this show
I want to look back in bliss
I want to give that extra good night kiss
The mess and rules aren’t as major
As these moments, so sit and savor
Be the dad you want to be
And let this go, just be free
Time is something you’ll never get back
You’ve gotta get back on track
Apologizing more often
Let your heart soften
Don’t take it all for granted
And they’re growing, but don’t be disenchanted
With you
And what you could do
The man you should be
Is waiting to be set free
Just let it all go
And be present as they grow
And they will know
They are loved
