The times we're all together, these days are so very rare
With work away, we cannot stay, and you're living over there
I recall the magic moments I missed in younger days
As the end draws near, it's crystal clear, the error of my ways
For I will always love you, you are so dear to me
So far away, in my heart you'll stay, my fondest memory
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't dwell on things now past
Focus, focus on today, for time is moving fast
In youth, we often squander and do not appreciate
The precious thing that children bring, those precious things must wait
Like the promise to take you fishing, or that concert I could not stay
That Halloween, that Christmas scene, when things took me away
Oh, I wish I could recapture the time that slipped away
While you held my hand, as we walked the sand, when by the ocean shore we'd play
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't dwell on things now past
Focus, focus on today, for time is moving fast
Those days are all gone now, my children all have grown
The year's compressed, tis time to rest, how fast the time has flown
I've learned to treasure moments, for seconds is all we have
Between high and bye, time races by, I miss you, your old dad
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't dwell on things now past
Focus, focus on today, for time is moving fast
