Perspective

Dust and wind, no highway's end,

And we're sleeping on the closet floor...

Winter Park, a new job's start,

Shirt and tie, and it's a hundred n'four...

The years have gone like yesterday,

And really all that's left to say...

Past is past, perhaps that's great,

Or maybe some is bad...

If you're like me, you tried to please

And sought the favor of your dad

But one thing that we must recall

As we press on and we live...

Time and life are precious,

So keep good perspective.

Drive best friends, volume on ten,

Sneaking in the front door...

Curfew's past, we had a blast,

Got grounded four days more...

The years have gone like yesterday,

And really all that's left to say...

Past is past, perhaps that's great,

Or maybe some is bad...

If you're like me, you tried to please

And sought the favor of your dad

But one thing that we must recall

As we press on and we live...

Time and life are precious,

So keep good perspective.

Memories may vary,

But still they are your own...

They keep your mind from drowning

When you are all alone...

Marriage vows, and babies born,

Where did those hours go?

Wrinkles here, a few pounds there,

Is what you've got to show...

Little children yesterday,

All grown up, and now they say...

Our past is past, and it was great,

It really wasn't bad...

We tried to please but knew you'd see

That we love you as our dad...

One thing that we won't forget

As we grow up and we live...

Time and life are precious,

You gave us perspective...

Family is precious,

That's our perspective...

Through thick and thin,

With God we'll win,

That's our perspective.

That's our perspective.

You gave us perspective...

Family is precious,

That's our perspective...

Through thick and thin,

With God we'll win,

That's our perspective.

That's our perspective.
