Plus 1 on just about every good comment you've had so far.
I've always been a sucker for songs with minor chords, or Jackson Browne-like arrangements.
This is really good melodically, with lots of well-chosen riffs.

I see the fathers are coming out of the woodwork .
Four of my six children are girls, youngest now 28 - this song really presses my emotion button.
Can't say enough about the song, or the feelings.

It's just long enough so you want to listen again. I loved the guitar lead . . . so much so that 8 bars of it would be nice after "two" to close it out.

But as I said, "two" definitely makes you want to play it again.

As mentioned in the chorus - There's so much more to life if you (I/we) just take (my/our)the time
I wouldn't trade for all the things that (I/we) you can find - just put it in the first person singular or plural and should clear the perspective.

Super song, Super Steve. Thanks for the listen.
