Ruth Buettner - Reminders to Me Lyrics

I've been stepping over these parts and pieces for awhile now
Three moves in twenty years, it's seen more miles in a U-haul
The seats out, tires off, and engine block on the floor
Thought when you'd turn sixteen, we'd have it all restored

But weekends are busy and bills need to get paid
Age comes sooner than later and a lifetime slips away

Every time I hear Cats in the Cradle
See your trucks and tractors boxed on the table
They're reminders to me
Every time I hear Love Without End Amen
You wanting to spend more time with your friends
They're reminders to me
Every time I hear "better enjoy this time now" said to me
Until you're looking back, you don't know how much it really means

I've been stepping over these parts and pieces for awhile now
Time to clean out this room, add more shelves, and paint the walls
Where Thomas train tracks and Lego toys were scattered on the floor
Wish I could see you line up race cars like you did when you were four

Every time I hear Cats in the Cradle
See your trucks and tractors boxed on the table
They're reminders to me
Every time I hear Love Without End Amen
You wanting to spend more time with your friends
They're reminders to me
Every time I hear "better enjoy this time now" said to me
Until you're looking back, you don't know how much it really means

Every time I hear Cats in the Cradle
See your trucks and tractors boxed on the table
They're reminders to me
Every time I hear Love Without End Amen
You wanting to spend more time with your friends
They're reminders to me
I've been stepping over these parts and pieces for awhile now
They're reminders to me
Better enjoy this time now. Until you're looking back, you don't know how much it really means
You don't know how much it means -how much it means
