Moments That Matter

I used to think I was a bigshot

Thought I had it all but guess what

Can't measure life by the things you got

In the end it all ends up to nothing

I swear I missed so many birthdays

Valentines, hallowe'ens and anniversaries

Left me lonesome in the worst ways

But mister I learned something

You can't buy back the moments that matter

You can't buy back the moments that matter

There's a big pot of gold at the top of the ladder

But you can't buy back the moments that matter

Gonna play some football in the backyard

Teach my nephew how to play the guitar

Call up some old friends and play some cards

Waste a few Saturday evenings

Gonna take my wife out dancing

Every now and then without her asking

Spin her around singing and laughing

There's memories we should be making

You can't buy back the moments that matter

You can't buy back the moments that matter

There's a big pot of gold at the top of the ladder

But you can't buy back the moments that matter

All this talk about the good life

Makes me realize I got a great life

Gotta keep my priorities in sight

You just get one time around

You can't buy back the moments that matter

You can't buy back the moments that matter

There's a big pot of gold at the top of the ladder

But you can't buy back the moments that matter

You can't buy back the moments that matter

You can't buy back the moments that matter

Years pass you buy and the days start to scatter

But you can't buy back the moments that matter
