Buy More Time

Buy More Time

V1.

A penny for your thoughts about

Your million dollar dreams

Next year you’ll be out on your own

Tell me all your crazy schemes

Your childhood vanished into a scrapbook

Where I keep those memories

I’ll be doing my best in the empty nest

Just your old man and me

Chorus

I’d like to buy a minute 

Just to sit and brush your hair

Or see you play another ball game

Your head cheerleader was always there

I’d like to buy your jokes at breakfast

Heck, I’d even pay for a fight

Right now, I can’t even afford to cry

Wondering how I can buy more time.

V2.

Tossing quarters into a wishing well

After dinner before I head back home

Just like those coins in the fountain

I’m drowning in alone.

My two cents would be money well spent

If I could buy a day with you

And we could live a day from the scrapbook

Of all the time I spent with you

Chorus

I’d like to buy a minute 

Just to sit and brush your hair

Or see you play another game

Your head cheerleader was always there

I’d like to buy jokes at breakfast

Heck, I’d even pay for a fight

Right now, I can’t even afford to cry

Wondering how I can buy more time

Bridge

Don’t wish away the hard days

Because they all had silver linings

And I’d give everything I’ve ever earned

To buy just a little more time

Chorus

I’d like to buy a minute 

Just to sit and brush your hair

Or see you play another ball game

Your head cheerleader was always there

I’d like to buy your jokes at breakfast

Heck, I’d even pay for a fight

Right now, I can’t even afford to cry

Wondering how I can buy more time.
