about

About:
Bubbles and swordfights meeting at the crossroads of “That’s Not Fair!” and “No, I don’t want to!” The temper tantrums at the grocery store and the sweet snuggles on a sleepy Sunday morning. Wherever you are on the whiplash journey that is parenting, hopefully this song will help you find the joy even when it seems like it isn’t there.

lyrics

Lyrics:

My feet hit the floor
But I sit on the edge of the bed
The sleep still blurs my eyes
You pull at me to rise
You just want to play
Just one more minute, I say

The breakfast is coming
The laundry is going
The coffee ain’t pouring itself
The dog needs to go out
You ask until you shout
What’s happening today?
Just one more minute, I say

The day starts to roll on
But I can’t keep up
I feel like I’m never enough
Where are my shoes, Mom?
Can you please come here Mom?
Hey Mom? Why Mom?
Can you see the sky Mom?
So many directions which way do I turn?
How do I get through this day?
Just one more minute, I say

The witching hour begins
The whining sets in
Supper can’t come soon enough
There’s someone at the door
Now a 2 foot dinosaur
Is roaring to play
Just one more minute, I say

The days feel like years
But they still disappear
I tell myself to choose the joy
I need to find it soon
Cuz I love you to the moon
So what’s in my way?
Just one more minute, I say

In the dark of the night
You cry out for me
To come chase the bad dreams away
I brush back your hair
As we rock in the chair
Bear, Mom. Bop, Mom
Can you sing a song, Mom?
Now are you ready to get back in your bed?
You hug my neck tight so I’ll stay
Just one more minute…

So I rock you to sleep
Then I sit on the edge of your bed
Let’s not count minutes instead
