Every Twenty-Four Hours Lyrics

What opportunity did I miss

What did I not pay attention to

Did I convey what I wanted to with a kiss

Did my sincere affections come through

Was I somehow inattentive or indifferent

When you needed something from me

Was I somehow absent-minded or inconsiderate

Or just plain acting obliviously

Did I live up to the standards I have for myself

And the standards I know you need

Did I fail to give you some support or help

In a way that you always give to me

For a while each night I'm wide awake

Wondering if I gave enough loving actions and words

And I assess if I loved you enough that day

Every twenty-four hours

Did I make the little moments matter

Which are important since we're so busy

Did I make anything about our lives better

In ways other than material things

Was I too hasty with any decisions

Because I was feeling a bit too stressed

Did I stay true to my personal mission

To always try and give you my best

Did I live up to the standards I have for myself

And the standards I know you need

Did I fail to give you some support or help

In a way that you always give to me

For a while each night I'm wide awake

Wondering if I gave enough loving actions and words

And I assess if I loved you enough that day

Every twenty-four hours

Every twenty-four hours

I always want to be better the next day

And to learn from any failures that occurred

And I try to love you in better ways

Every twenty-four hours

Did I live up to the standards I have for myself

And the standards I know you need

Did I fail to give you some support or help

In a way that you always give to me

For a while each night I'm wide awake

Wondering if I gave enough loving actions and words

And I assess if I loved you enough that day

Every twenty-four hours
