Lyrics
Verse 1
Morning light through the curtains
Coffee's brewing slow
Two sets of little footsteps
Come running down the hall I know
One's got his baseball cap
The other's in her Sunday dress
And I'm standing there just thinking
How did I deserve all of this?
Chorus
You're my two little reasons
For every mile I go
Every tire on this truck
Every seed I've tried to sow
Life's not always easy
But it's worth it, that's the truth
When I'm holding my whole world here
In the shape of both of you
Verse 2
There's homework at the kitchen table
Laughing 'til the night turns late
And stories 'bout when I was younger
That they'll tell someday
I tuck them in with a prayer
Under the glow of moonlight
Whisper "Daddy loves you"
And let the peace fill the night
Chorus
You're my two little reasons
For every mile I go
Every tire on this truck
Every seed I've tried to sow
Life's not always easy
But it's worth it, that's the truth
When I'm holding my whole world here
In the shape of both of you
Bridge
Someday you'll be grown
And chasing dreams of your own
But I'll keep every smile, every hug, every tear
In my heart for all the years
Final Chorus
You're my two little reasons
For every road I take
Every promise I've kept
And every chance I make
Life's not always easy
But my reward shines through
When I'm loving my whole world here
In the shape of both of you
