Lyrics
Have you ever told your mother
Expressing whether the person has ever conveyed deep admiration or reverence to their mother.
That she was more than God
Comparing the mother's significance to that of a deity, emphasizing her importance.
And for all the life she gave you

You would give her twice as much
Committing to give back twice as much love for the life received from the mother.
Have you ever told your father

Did you tell him you'd forgive
Asking if the person has forgiven their father as they both grew older.
Yes I have
Affirmative response to forgiving the father.
Have you ever loved your woman
Posing a question about the depth of love and commitment to a romantic partner.
With everything you got
Expressing the idea of giving one's all in a romantic relationship.

Life is really not a lot
Conveying that life would be significantly diminished without the presence of the romantic partner.
Have you ever held your new born
Reflecting on the experience of holding a newborn baby and looking into their eyes.
And looked into his eyes
Connecting the act of seeing one's reflection in the baby's eyes with a potential emotional response.
When you saw your own reflection

Were you man enough to cry
Questioning whether the person was emotionally strong enough to cry in that moment.
Yes I was
Confirming that the person was emotionally moved and did cry in that situation.
Should have done it long ago
Expressing regret for not taking certain actions in the past.
Now I know
Realization of what should have been done in the past.
What I didn't long ago
Acknowledging past mistakes and missed opportunities.
And I know that life gets shorter

Every day we lose a day
Highlighting the continuous loss of time and the urgency to appreciate life.
So I want you all to know

That I love you

What do we wait for
Prompting a reflection on the reasons for withholding feelings.
When we keep our feelings

And we're too late
