These Are The Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hospital, home was a four minute drive The baby on board made it thirty-five We didn't sleep a wink that night Just laid by that crib, singin' nursery rhymes And these are the days that we'll want back The kindergarten drop off line His first day of school, didn't even cry And that was when we knew that life It had a funny way of just passin' us by And these are the days that we'll want back [Chorus] So tell 'em bed time stories, give 'em a kiss good night Darlin', before we know it, this old house will be quiet I know wе're tired right now, someday wе'll laugh about it Let's slow it down and raise a glass 'Cause these are the days that we'll want back [Verse 2] It took us a day to build that bike Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride Jugglin' dinner, school and practice times Just tryna make it through to that glass of cheap wine And these are the days that we'll want back, we'll want back [Chorus] So tell 'em bed time stories, give 'em a kiss good night Darlin', before we know it, this old house will be quiet I know we're tired right now, 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 [Bridge] And 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 [Verse 3] There was a time when we were your world But now you're movin' on to marry your girl So, buy your house and call it home And give her a life, and some kids of her own [Chorus] Tell 'em 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
