Lyrics
That's What Life's All About
V1
she cries and cries- (as i tuck her in)
well it gets tougher every night
"just one more story??" - baby don't ask again!
'bout ready to give up this fight
as i try to lay her down... she puts her head on my chest
she looks at me- smiles and says- "daddy you're the best"
C1,2,3
That's what life's all about
Those little moments... you don't wanna live without
1-readin' bed time stories- before the lights go out
2-tellin' your wife you love her- so she'll have no doubt
3-The ones that always take your heart... and turn it inside out
That's what life's all about
V2:
she sounds exhausted- as we talk on the phone
those kids have worn her down today
so i bring her some flowers- get her favorite bottle of wine
and let her know everythings gonna be okay
as i hold her in my arms- she puts her head on my chest
she looks at me- smiles and says- "baby you're the best"
Bridge:
it's the tee-ball games and sweet nicknames
and summer trips to the lake
it's "honey do this" and "honey do that"
and the memories that we make
