YOU NEVER KNOW HOW SOON
(STEVE SESKIN / ALLEN SHAMBLIN)
My dad, he's a tough one
He grew up hard, it left its mark
He and I had a rough one
But I know he tried to raise me right
I've never told him I love him
I guess pride got in the way
But sittin' here watchin' this sun go down
I'm thinkin' I'd better tell him today
'Cause you never know how soon it's gonna be too late
My wife gave me children
A girl and boy, my pride and joy
I love bein' with them
Yeah I work hard but my real job
Is makin' sure that I make the time
When they say, Daddy, come out and play
'Cause I know they'll go from flyin' that kite with me
To flyin' away
Yeah, you never know how soon it's gonna be too late
Time is like a window
It opens and it closes
Chances come and go just like the wind
Life is so uncertain
If we don't seize the moments
Can we truly rest in peace in the end
Tonight I'm feeling good
I called my dad and he didn't get mad
We talked and then we laughed
Cleared the air he really does care
When he opened his heart to me
I knew just what to say
I told him I love him
And a burden fell away
Don't make forgiveness wait
'Cause you never know how soon it's gonna be too late
