Don’t Wish Your Time Away

VERSE:
She said one more minute daddy
I need your help to fall asleep
Read me a book about a princess who finds a prince to sweep her off her feet
How bout tomorrow, sweetie?
And I will promise to read you two
But right now the work is calling me
And there’s some catching up to do

CHORUS:
Wishing the time away
In hopes of a better day
But as the years go on
The little ones are grown and gone
The silence is deafening
As I sit here with more time to think
How these memories are here to stay
But don’t wish your time away

VERSE:
She said color with me daddy
I need your help to make some art
Draw me a mermaid on a rainbow sitting beneath the nightime stars
How bout tomorrow, sweetie?
And I will promise to draw you two
But right now the chores are calling me
And there’s some cleaning up to do

CHORUS:
Wishing the time away
In hopes of a better day
But as the years go on
The little ones are grown and gone
The silence is deafening
As I sit here with more time to think
How these memories are here to stay
But don’t wish your time away

BRIDGE:
Live like there’s no tomorrow 
You don’t get more time to borrow
(X2)

VERSE:
She said dance with me daddy
Can you show me how to spin?
The first dance with my husband on my wedding day is closing in
I’d love to do that, sweetie!
And I will promise to dip you too
Cause right now my daughter’s calling me
And I’ll be present here with you

CHORUS:
Taking my time today
I’ve found a better way
Cause as these years go on
The little ones are grown and gone
The silence is deafening
While I sit here with more time to think
How these memories are here to stay
Don’t wish your time away
Don’t wish your time away
Don’t wish your time away

I have been a fan of music since I was a kid. I always had a natural attraction to intricate melodies and catchy lyrics. Some of the most notable musicians that have inspired me over the years are: Chris Carrabba, Andrew McMahon, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix.

I am a sales professional and currently reside in Arlington, TX. The majority of my time goes to my job and spending time with my wife/daughters/family/friends. With that being said, I am still very passionate about music. I am a self-taught musician, singer, and songwriter focused on creating music that bleeds over into various genres. 

I created this profile to share my music and connect with other singers/songwriters/musicians. Please feel free to "Like" or "Comment" on any of my music. I am always looking for feedback!

Easy listening,
