"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
