They put it on the market
the house where I was born
twenty years of memories
hard to let it go
it was a mess when we found it
but my father made it home
that's where I began
that's where I come from

started playing melodies
on grandpa's piano
singing songs about Jesus
those times were special
and every day you show me
another part of my story
and there's sure to be some hard times
but a whole lot of beauty

these are the things that matter in life
living in every moment cause I can't stop the time
tomorrow's gonna be yesterday
so I don't want to miss a thing
this is the story you're building in me

fourteenth of december
we went and got married
then we moved down to nashville
someday we'll start a family
then we got some bad news
that mom had cancer
and if she was still here
she'd tell us remember

these are the things that matter in life
living in every moment cause I can't stop the time
tomorrow's gonna be yesterday
so I don't want to miss a thing
this is the story you're building

you know all of my days
my tomorrows are covered in grace
you're in the middle of it all
and I want to say I'm thankful yeah, yeah

these are the things that matter in life
living in every moment cause I can't stop the time
tomorrow's gonna be yesterday
so I don't want to miss a thing
this is the story you're building in me
yeah, yeah, the story you're building
