Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Been runnin' these roads
Chasin' paychecks and pride
Mama's grayin' at the table
Daddy walks a little slow outside
Kids' shoes in the hallway
Sunday pictures on the wall
All these little, little moments
I been halfway missin' them all
[Chorus]
Take the time to love the ones beside you
Take the time to make a memory stay
Hold 'em close and say the words inside you
Don’t wait on some far-off day
Take the time to say “I’m glad I got you”
Take the time to say “I’m sorry” too
And take the time to say “thank You, God”
For every heartbeat in this room
[Verse 2]
My brother called last summer
I let it ring, let it ring
Thought I’d hit him back tomorrow
Then tomorrow changed everything
Now his old truck’s in the driveway
But he ain’t comin’ home
Makes me stare up at that sky
Talkin’ to the One upon the throne
[Chorus]
Take the time to love the ones beside you
Take the time to make a memory stay
Hold 'em close and say the words inside you
Don’t wait on some far-off day
Take the time to say “I’m glad I got you”
Take the time to say “I’m proud of you”
And take the time to say “thank You, God”
For every heartbeat in this room
[Bridge]
We don’t get a clock that tells us
When our last goodbye begins
So I’m callin’ up my people
Gonna wrap ‘em in these arms again (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Take the time to love the ones beside you
Take the time to make a memory stay
Hold 'em close and say the words inside you
Don’t wait on some far-off day
Take the time to say “I’m glad I got you”
Take the time to say “I love you” too
And take the time to say “thank You, God”
For every heartbeat in this room
Yeah, take the time, take the time
Every heartbeat in this room

Style
country, Warm modern country ballad with raspy male vocals, gentle fingerpicked acoustic and soft organ pad in the verses; big lift into a hooky, singalong chorus with brushed kit, subtle pedal steel, and stacked harmonies on the title line. Bridge strips back to near-acapella before the final chorus explodes with extra ad-libs and a soaring guitar fill.
