Lyrics

Time With You

[Verse 1]
I never cared for the tug of the line,
The smell of the bait or the early shine.
The river spoke in whispers low,
But it wasn’t the current that made me go.

[Chorus]
It wasn’t the fish, it wasn’t the stream,
Not the rods or the ripples that gleam.
I’d sit in that boat, just me and you,
‘Cause Dad, all I wanted was time with you.

[Verse 2]
The tackle box held secrets you’d share,
Stories and laughs drifting through the air.
You’d cast your line, your face so still,
I cast my heart, hoping you’d feel.

[Chorus]
It wasn’t the fish, it wasn’t the stream,
Not the rods or the ripples that gleam.
I’d sit in that boat, just me and you,
‘Cause Dad, all I wanted was time with you.

[Bridge]
The years flowed fast like the rivers we knew,
But the love we cast came reeling through.
No trophy catch, no prize display,
Just memories of you, my one that got away.

[Chorus]
It wasn’t the fish, it wasn’t the stream,
Not the rods or the ripples that gleam.
I’d sit in that boat, just me and you,
‘Cause Dad, all I wanted was time with you.
