Baby you know I love you so much
And my world is just dirt without you
But sometimes we get so lost in our spins
I lose my sense about you
And hearts cloud over and eyes grow cold
Before we can think to ask why
But things get a whole lot better
Once I take a minute to cry

They call me daddy, that says it all
I'm theirs til the day I die
But sometimes I don't even see
The years just streaking by
And it hurts to know I miss so much
They grow in the blink of an eye
But I can stop time with my open arms
It just takes a minute to cry

And it don't have to be tears all wet and runny
It don't have to be sad it can be something funny
Just a moment when something gets through
Like a bullet through armor to the sweetness in you
It's just an instant, just a start
And you remember where you've been hiding your heart

So next time everywhere you look
Is a gritty shade of grey
And there's a certain distant feeling
To every word that you say
Well don't start thinking you’re hollow inside
Cause you know that's just a lie
Remember this here song and then
Take a minute to cry
