Hospital to home was a four-minute drive With a baby on board made it thirty five
We didn't sleep a wink that night Just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes
* These are the days that we'll want back
At the kindergarten drop off line His first day of school, didn't even cry
And that was when we knew that life Had a funny way of just passing us by
( * )
** So tell them bed time stories Give' em a kiss good night
Darling before we know it This old house will be quiet
I know we're tired right now But someday we'll laugh about it
Let's slow it down and raise a glass Cause these are the days that we'll want back
It took us a day to build that bike Felt like we only got a minute to watch them ride
Juggling dinner, school and practice time Just tryna make it through to that glass of cheap wine
( * , ** )
All of the countless crazy sleepless nights
All of the firsts and the lasts and the tears that we cried
All of the "How does this work, Dad?" and "Mom, tell me why"
Sometimes growing up feels like goodbye
