Times We Miss

Lyrics

[Verse]
Dad's hands rough from toil he grips the morning's light
Misses family dinners lost in the endless night
Photos on the mantle kids' faces in a frame
He's chasing dreams so hard he forgets their names

[Chorus]
In the years we fly so fast we miss the moments that we had
We forget the laughter then we wish we held on tight
The times we miss they slip away like sand through open hands
We live through echoes hoping that they'll make us feel alright

[Verse 2]
Mom’s eyes set on tomorrow but she misses the today
Looking to the horizon as the kids fade away
Little handprints on the window panes she cleans them with a sigh
Future's bright and golden but she fails to see the sky

[Chorus]
In the years we fly so fast we miss the moments that we had
We forget the laughter then we wish we held on tight
The times we miss they slip away like sand through open hands
We live through echoes hoping that they'll make us feel alright

[Verse 3]
Kids are grown and grateful they see how love was laid
Work filled hearts with purpose sacrifices they made
Now their parents' stories are treasures true and grand
Grateful for the love that guided them by hand

[Chorus]
In the years we fly so fast we miss the moments that we had
We forget the laughter then we wish we held on tight
The times we miss they slip away like sand through open hands
We live through echoes hoping that they'll make us feel alright
