I've reached the point now where I'm not proud of
Too many lovers that I've never loved
And I've never questioned those empty days
Until I met the woman that made me want to say
CHORUS
I think about all the time I've wasted I could've spent with you
And all the lies I've fallen for while searching for the truth
There are turns I should've taken but now I'll never find
Just like that wasted time
I've got a boy now, he's about half grown
His momma raised him 'cause dad was always gone
Well I was just so busy trying to make him proud
The next time I see him I'm gonna tell him now
REPEAT CHORUS
Tonight I'll wait for a quiet time
Close my eyes and open up my mind
Bow my head down and say a little prayer
And hope it's not too late for me to tell the man upstairs
REPEAT CHORUS
Too many lovers that I've never loved
And I've never questioned those empty days
Until I met the woman that made me want to say
CHORUS
I think about all the time I've wasted I could've spent with you
And all the lies I've fallen for while searching for the truth
There are turns I should've taken but now I'll never find
Just like that wasted time
I've got a boy now, he's about half grown
His momma raised him 'cause dad was always gone
Well I was just so busy trying to make him proud
The next time I see him I'm gonna tell him now
REPEAT CHORUS
Tonight I'll wait for a quiet time
Close my eyes and open up my mind
Bow my head down and say a little prayer
And hope it's not too late for me to tell the man upstairs
REPEAT CHORUS
