These Are The Days - Cory Asbury
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
These are the days that we'll want back
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
These are the days that we'll want back
We'll want back
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
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
There was a time when we were your world
But now you're moving on to marry your girl
So buy her a house and call it home
Give her a life and some kids of her own
Tell them bed time stories
Give' 'em a kiss good night
'Cause before you know it
That old house will be quiet
I know you're wild right now
But someday we'll laugh about it
Let's raise a glass and toast to that
'Cause we'll always be your Mom and Dad
And these are the days that we'll want back
We'll want 'em back
We'll want 'em back
