I. -- . .. KIWI G
win mm W11 Hm MIIIIIHW

On a plane to the West Coast
Laptop on my tray

Papers spread across my seat
A big deadline to make

An older man
Sittin&#39; next to me said
Sorry to intrude

Thirty years ago my busy friend
I was you

I made a ton of money
And I climbed up the ladder

Yeah lwas superman
What does it matter

I missed the first steps
My daughter took
The time my son played

Captain Hook in Peter Pan
l was in New York said
Sorry son dad has to work

I missed the father daughter dance
The first home run
No second chance to be there
When he crossed the plate
The momenths gone
Now ifs too late

Fame and fortune
Come with a heavy price

Son
Don&#39;t miss your life

Huh
Funny you should say that
I was sittin&#39; at the gate

My daughter called
She made straight A s
And they&#39;re off to celebrate

Scrollin&#39; through the pictures
Of my little family
My daughter with her mom

And friends
Not a single one with me

They know I love em
I know they know I care

The truth is half the time
Pm not even there

I missed our
Fourth and fifth anniversary
Our girl was early by a week

Her sister had to hold her hand
I was in LA
She said I understand

I missed her first day of school
Then what kind of crazy fool lets
Such precious moments pass
We all know time goes way too fast

Hold on tight
Cause it don t happen twice

Don&#39;t miss your life

When I get off this plane
Pll buy a turn-around ticket

Saturday&#39;s her eighth birthday
And I&#39;m not gonna miss it

Therer be balloons
And birthday cake

And Pll clean up
The mess they make

My wife will probably say to me
I thought you were supposed to be
In Portland

For a few more days
PII take her in my arms and say

I heard some words
That hit me hard last night

A man said
Don&#39;t miss your life
