Time Well Spent

Ten o'clock the news is on Outside the moths are headed Straight for the light on the front porch You lay beside me sleeping Never wake an angel Wouldn't think of it Time well spent High noon on Sunday morning Skipped church so I listened to you Reading Mary Oliver While the babies are outside playing And just like that A precious moment came and went Time well spent And there it goes In the blink of an eye It's up and gone on down the road The time you can't get back is worth its weight in gold And I will be the first to admit That often I Seem to let everything in front of me Just pass on by Knowing good and well that in the end you'll find It's time well spent Monday, the coffee's hot Inside I'm feeling heavy The devil's made his home atop my back And I ain't holding steady In the nick of time A phone call from a friend Time well spent Tuesday, ain't nothing on Step outside, turn off the TV The sun upon my face In a major key, the birds are singing The wheel rolls on No need to reinvent Time well spent And there it goes In the blink of an eye It's up and gone on down the road The time you can't get back is worth its weight in gold And I will be the first to admit That often I Seem to let everything in front of me Just pass on by Knowing good and well that in the end you'll find It's time well spent Wednesday, we're halfway there On the wall, the clock keeps ticking I try to see the good in everything I know that nothing's given What will be will be In any event Time well spent The wheel rolls on No need to reinvent Time well spent And just like that A precious moment came and went Time well spent
