Song Lyrics

"Every Minute"

by Sara Groves
Album: The Collection

I am long on staying ' I am slow to leave ' Especially when it comes to you my friend ' You have taught me slow down ' And to prop up my feet ' It's the fine art of being who I am ' ' And I can't figure out ' Why you want me around ' I'm not the smartest person I have ever met ' But somehow that doesn't matter ' No it never really mattered to you at all ' ' And at the risk of wearing out my welcome ' At the risk of self-discovery ' I'll take every moment ' And every minute that you'll give me ' ' And I can think of time when families all lived together ' Four generations in one house ' And the table was full of good food ' And friends and neighbors ' That's not how we like it now ' ' Cause if you sit at home you're a loser ' Couldn't you find anything better to do ' Well no I couldn't think of one thing ' I would rather waste my time on than sitting here with you ' ' And at the risk of wearing out my welcome ' At the risk of self-discovery ' I'll take every moment ' And every minute that you'll give me ' ' And I wish all the people I love the most ' Could gather in one place ' And know each other and love each other well ' ' And I wish we could all go camping ' And lay beneath the stars ' And have nothing to do and stories to tell ' We'd sit around the campfire ' And we'd make each other laugh remembering when ' You're the first one I'm inviting ' Always know that you're my friend ' ' And at the risk of wearing out my welcome ' At the risk of self-discovery ' I'll take every moment ' And every minute that you'll give me ' Every moment and every minute that you'll give me ' Every moment and every minute that you'll give me ' Every minute ' '
