"Catchin' Grasshoppers" lyrics
"Catchin' Grasshoppers"
I have a million errands that I need to run
Twins are tuggin' away at my sleeve
They wanna catch grasshoppers in the field
And whisper "Daddy, please"
I said, "Boys, your dad is busy."
But something stirs inside
When I see those silent tears wellin' up in their eyes
And I forget now what it was I had to do
Couldn't wait another minute
There's a memory being made right here and I'm standing in it
I can't stop myself from smiling watching Justin's glee
As he bends down on the grass
Don't wanna let this moment pass
Let voice mail take my messages
Let sweet time tick away
If anybody wants me, anybody needs me
They'll have to wait
'Cause I'm out here on Hanson's field
And it's a beautiful day
Yeah we're out here catchin' grasshoppers
They shout, "Hey, daddy, look. There's one. Let's catch it!"
Laughing every tumble and fall
They're a vision of muddy delight
With those grass stains on their overalls
Jordan lets his green winged friends fly through his tiny hands
And he smiles from ear to ear the way that only children can
Let voice mail take my messages
Let sweet time tick away
If anybody wants me, anybody needs me
They'll have to wait
'Cause I'm out here on Hanson's field
And it's a beautiful day
Yeah we're out here catchin' grasshoppers
Years from now I won't remember this day
I won't recall the field
But I'll remember my children's eyes
Lighting up like stars when they were five
Yes, I'll remember
(Yes, I'll remember)
Catching grasshoppers
Let voice mail take my messages
Let sweet time tick away
If anybody wants me, anybody needs me
They'll have to wait
'Cause I'm out here on Hanson's field
And it's a beautiful day
Yeah, we're out here on Hanson's field
Wouldn't have it any other way
Yeah, we're out here catchin' grasshoppers

Lobo - "All For The Love Of A Girl" Well today I'm so weary
Today I'm so blue
Sad and broken hearted
And it's all because of you
Life was a sweet girl
Live was a song
But now you've gone and left me
Tell me where did I go wrong
And...
Rita Coolidge - "Words" Smile an everlasting smile
A smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you're gone
'Cause that could bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story now,...
John Denver - "Autograph" Here I am, closing my eyes again, trying so hard not to see all the things that I see.
Almost willing to lie again, I swear that it just isn't so, it just isn't me.
We are never alone even though...
Jose Mari Chan - "Constant Change" We're on the road
We move from place to place
And oftentimes when I'm about to call it home
We'd have to move along
Life is a constant change...
The friends we know we meet along the way
Too soon...
