Work boots by the door Toys scattered across the floor And a pile of broken dreams out in the mailbox Not quite what I had planned When I was a younger man But some things in life you don't understand 'Til you're watching an angel sleep sound in your bed Holding that miracle so innocent And you realize you wouldn't have it any other way At the end of the day Birthday cakes in June Summers always came too soon I miss those hurried morning rides to school Now I must admit Wish she was still at home with us again How time flies it sure don't make no sense 'Til you're watching that first dance she looks in his eyes The same way her mama still looks in mine And you realize you wouldn't have it any other way At the end of the day Family by my side Their tears will someday dry If now is my time it's gonna be alright Well, I wouldn't have had any other way At the end of the day
