about

A song about having to let those kids grow up.

lyrics

Gettin' ready for the day,
And of course we're runnin' late,
and they took too long for breakfast
Now it's gettin' close to eight

Brushin' teeth and brushin' hair
"Is that what you're gonna wear?"
"Sweetie, leave the dog alone!"
But she don't seem to care

And when I open up our door
To let' em out into the world
Somethin' stops me in my tracks

(So I call 'em back..).

[CHORUS]

I need another look at you
Another chance to kiss you too,
Another chance to make sure you're okay...
I need to see into your eyes,
And try to make you smile
and after that I guess I'll send you on your way...

I just need, another hug today.

And when they finally got back
Makin' messes with their snack
This time I didn't raise my voice
This time I had to laugh

and I let 'em watch cartoons
and play all afternoon
didn't feel like bein' mom today
didn't make 'em clean their rooms

And then I send 'em out to play,
I 'm so thankful for today
But when they try and run away,
I have to say...

I need another look at you,
Another chance to kiss you too,
Another chance to make sure you're okay...
I need to see into your eyes,
And try to make you smile
and after that I'll send you on your way...
I just need,
another hug today.

I know sometimes they think I'm crazy
and they just roll their eyes at me when they go,
but when they have their own someday
and they watch ‘em run away
They'll find out why I used to say...

I need another look at you,
Another chance to love and hold you
Another chance to make sure you're okay...
I need to see into your eyes,
And do my best to make you smile
and after that I'll send you on your way...
I just need,
A another hug today.
A another hug today...

I need another look at you,
Another chance to love and hold you
Another chance to make sure you're okay...
I need to see into your eyes,
And do my best to make you smile
and after that I'll send you on your way...
I just need,
A another hug today.
A another hug today...
