I Hear A Clock

Lyrics

In my 20s and 30s
It was my work,
That was all that mattered to me.
I didn’t have time
For anything else,
Like a wife or a family.
But lately, just lately,
What used to be important
Isn’t what’s important to me.

I want to walk my daughter down the aisle,
Teach my son to hit a baseball a country mile,
Rock my baby to sleep while were watching TV
Like loving daddies do.
‘Cause it’s not just the woman that runs out of time
I hear a clock ticking ,too.

When there’s no one to share it
What’s it’s all for?
How much does a lonely man need?
I’ve lived life being selfish
And I don’t want to stay
In a world that revolves around me.
So lately, just lately,
What use to be important
Isn’t what’s important to me.
I want to walk my daughter down the aisle,
Teach my son to hit a baseball a country mile,
Rock my baby to sleep while were watching TV
Like loving daddies do.
‘Cause it’s not just the woman that runs out of time.

I hear a clock ticking
deep in my soul,
Saying before I’m too old
There’s one thing I’m longing to do.
‘Cause it’s not just the woman that runs out of time.
I hear a clock ticking.
I hear a clock ticking.
