20,000 days I’ve been doing the best that I can
20,000 days I’ve been working on the woman that I am
And you’ve been beside me since we were young and didn’t know shit
And I ain’t perfect, but I have almost got the hang of it
3,000 weeks I have been learning my way
3,000 weeks of laughter lines and hair that’s turned to grey
And we’ve loved our babies every second of their lives
We watched them breathe, we watched them sleep
And one day we watched them fly
20,000 days…3,000 weeks
One minute at a time to get to me
10,000 cups of coffee, just as many glasses of wine
10,000 reasons to forget and let you fade into time
And I won’t remember every little word that hurt
But you gave me power to stand up and believe in what I’m worth
20,000 days…3,000 weeks
One minute at a time to get to me
And I have wasted hours sleeping, days of weeping
And splitting at the seams
But I guess that’s what makes us and breaks us
Heartaches and dreams
6 million minutes you’ve been colder than it’s possible to be
6 million minutes I haven’t felt you here beside me
And I wish I could remember every single word you said
But I’m so grateful that you showed me what it means to be a good woman
20, 000 days…3,000 weeks
One minute at a time to get to me
