Buddy Jewell

Times Like These

He's three-feet tall and four years old

An' still believes that I can do no wrong

When I get home at five o'clock

He's waitin' with that Cowboys jersey on

I laugh 'cause he's just like his Dad

He'll miss the ball an' he'll get mad

Thinks when he grows up, he'll catch 'em all

Then I get down on my knees an' tell him

"Sometimes, even Daddies drop the ball"

It's times like these that I realize

They don't stay little long

You blink your eyes an' turn around

Before you know it, they're grown up an' gone

I've been takin' time for granted

Now I'm gonna take advantage of every golden opportunity

Make the most of every moment

While we still have times like these

I could go to work this Saturday

Lord knows, that I could use the overtime

But I'll be sittin' there behind home plate

Cheerin' on that little man of mine

Yeah, the extra pay would sure be nice

But it's worth any sacrifice

To see my little slugger's first at bat

An' when he looks up in the stands an' sees me

Man, you can't put a price on that

It's times like these that I realize

They don't stay little long

You blink your eyes an' turn around

Before you know it, they're grown up an' gone

I been takin' time for granted

Now I'm gonna take advantage of every golden opportunity

Make the most of every moment

While we still have times like these

I've been takin' time for granted

Now I'm gonna take advantage of every golden opportunity

Make the most of every moment

While we still have times like these

Thank God for times like these
