I Wish I'd Do

There isn't enough time in the day
To walk the dog make the bed and take your breath away
And all the things you had me write on the back of my hand
Will have to wait 'til tomorrow
You'll just have to understand

I had an idea to pick you flowers from the field
But before I got out the door the snow was six feet high
Couldn't even see the sky
Had to kiss that dream goodbye

I wish I'd do everything
I wish I'd do anything
I wish I'd sing you every song
And stay up all night long
Watch the sun rise and set
And never have to close my eyes or forget
I wish I'd do
I wish I'd do
Exactly what I promised you

I said give me one or two years and we'll get out of this town
But now we have three kids and we better just stick around
I know I promised we'd take that trip down to Mexico
But that was years ago
Where'd all the time go?

And when I get home from work you've fallen asleep just watchin' the news
The light from the tv illuminating your beautiful face
And all I can hope is that you can dream
Of a faraway place

I wish I'd do everything
I wish I'd do anything
I wish I'd sing you every song
And stay up all night long
Watch the sun rise and set
And never have to close my eyes or forget
I wish I'd do
I wish I'd do
Exactly what I promised you
