Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She puts on her makeup
And the last dress she remembers
That turned his head
That time he said, you look beautiful
[Verse 2]
At 6, the front door opens
And he doesn't even notice
Kisses her cheek
Baby, when do we eat? I'm starving
[Verse 3]
Oh, whoa, whoa
The beautiful things we miss
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna miss it
I don't wanna look back someday and find
Everything that really mattered
Was right in front of me this whole time
[Verse 5]
Open up my eyes, Lord
Keep me in the moment just like this
Before the beautiful things we love
Become the beautiful things we miss
[Verse 6]
She hides out in her headphones
Texting on her cellphone
Daddy's girl
Built a world behind her bedroom door
[Verse 7]
While he was working hard and providing
Bigger house and still get divided
Just yesterday, she was on his shoulders
But today, she's older, why do we get older?
[Verse 8]
Oh, whoa, whoa
The beautiful things we miss
[Verse 9]
I don't wanna miss it
I don't wanna look back someday and find
Everything that really mattered
Was right in front of me this whole time
[Verse 10]
Open up my eyes, Lord
Keep me in the moment just like this
Before the beautiful things we love
Become the beautiful things we miss
[Verse 11]
We don't get to rewind
There's no such thing as next time
Help me remember, help me remember
We don't get this back
[Verse 12]
They will write when they said, don't blink
It all goes faster than you think
Oh, help me remember, help me remember
The beautiful things we miss
[Verse 13]
I don't wanna miss it
I don't wanna look back someday and find
Everything that really mattered
Was right in front of me this whole time
[Verse 14]
Open up my eyes, Lord
Keep me in the moment just like this
Before the beautiful things we love
Become the beautiful things we miss
[Verse 15]
Open up my eyes, Lord
Open up my eyes, Lord
I don't wanna miss it
No, I don't wanna miss it
[Verse 16]
Open up my eyes, Lord
Open up my eyes, Lord
Before the beautiful things I love
Become the beautiful things I miss
