[Intro] [Acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] I was counting every bill on the kitchen table Chasing every hour like it owed me pay Fixing every fence and every broken cable Never saw the sun go down on a quiet day I was worried 'bout the roof and the rust on the truck Every little thing that could go wrong Had my head down low just to keep my luck Missed the whole dang song [Chorus] I couldn't see the forest for the trees Too busy staring at the bark and leaves All the little troubles got the best of me While the good life stood right in front of me Took a step back, finally let it breathe Now I see the forest, not just the trees [Verse 2] My little girl was dancing in the yard in the evening I was on the phone about some deal gone sour My baby saying "honey, come sit with me a minute" I said "just a minute", and it turned into an hour Funny how the small stuff grows when you feed it And the big stuff fades when you look away It took a quiet night to finally believe it What really matters doesn't fit inside a day [Chorus] I couldn't see the forest for the trees Too busy staring at the bark and leaves All the little troubles got the best of me While the good life stood right in front of me Took a step back, finally let it breathe Now I see the forest, not just the trees [Bridge] Climbed up the hill behind the house one evening Looked out over everything I've got A love that stayed, a home, a reason It was never just one tree, it was a whole lot [Final Chorus] I couldn't see the forest for the trees Too busy staring at the bark and leaves Now I'm counting blessings, not the worries Got everything I'll ever need Took a step back, finally let it breathe Now I see the forest, not just the trees [Outro] Now I see the forest... Not just the trees [Fade out]
