Lyrics:
THESE ARE THE DAYS

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
That was when we knew that life
Had a funny way of passing us by

These are the days that we’ll want back

So tell them bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss good night
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 & raise a glass
These are the days that we’ll want back

Took us a day to build that bike
Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride
Juggling dinner, school & practice time
Trying to make it through that glass of cheep wine

These are the days that we’ll want back

All of the countless crazy sleepless night
All of the ‘firsts’ & the ‘lasts’ & the tears that we cried
All of the how does this work Dad & Mom tell me why
Sometimes growing up feel like goodbye

There was time when we were your world
Now you’re moving on to marry your girl
So buy her a house & call it home
Give her a life & some kids of her own

Tell them bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss good night
Cause before we know it
That old house will be quiet
I know your wild right now
But one day we’ll laugh about it
Let’s raise a glass & toast to that
We’ll always be your Mom & Dad
These are the days that we’ll want back

Dad of four girls. 13 down to 3. This is such a sweet reminder when you’re in the thick of it. Exhausted. Stressed. Poor. Unable to provide all the “things” but you can provide these moments. You can be there. You can love. What a song. Thanks bro. Appreciated.

Sometimes growing up feels like goodbye😭

For everyone reading this, I pray you overcome everything you're going through that you're afraid to share with anyone

[iam_n.m.audrey]

I don't know who needs to hear this but anyone reading it, one day you will cry😭
Not because someone hurt you but because God has answered your prayers.

Im 42 years old with a 6 and 4 year old. Youngest starts kindergarten in a couple weeks. I quit a 20 year career to work from home full-time because this time with my kids goes so fast and I didnt want to miss it. If you have children, I hope for both your sakes you live with no regrets and your lives are full of love, laughter and happines.

[novaeverett]

I'm 26 years old, across the country from my family. I woke up this morning to a text from my dad with a link to this video. The tears came so quickly. He always worked so hard to give us a good life. I left home right at 18 to get away because I had a difficult relationship with myself and my mother. I'll love him so much for the rest of my life. I hope we have more time together.

Flip! Hit me right in the feels! My son gets married in 2 months. This will be our dance song! I've cried all day! 😂 what a song!

[KaySlavich]

Gosh, I‘m 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I‘m already crying for all of those moments to experience with a child and how fast they will fly by 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺 What a great song ❤️❤️❤️

[sherribonner]

Danced to this with my son at his wedding this weekend… it was perfect❤️… another precious memory I’ll always keep

[ypluxif]

May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob keep and bring peace throughout this region and all over the world in Jesus name I pray.l

I had 3 children, one right behind the other. It was like staggered triplets. I remember being in a restaurant with my husband and all 3 babies. It was the worst moment of my life with a 2 year old, 1 year old, newborn... the chaos was crazy. Screaming, crying, hungry, not getting food fast enough, snacks not cutting it.

A little silver haired lady walked up and saw my frustration and exhaustion. She patted my hand and said, "Honey, one day you will look back on this day and beg for it back. "

I know she's gone to be with the Lord now, but I would love to tell her how right she was. I would love more than anything to have that and so many other days back. I love and miss my babies so much. ❤

They are grown leading lives of their own... but oh to go back and do it all again. ❤

[Erik-dcvf]

Well…. You sure know how to make a grown man cry.

This has been a rough, crazy day as a homeschooling mom of boys. As I was holding my six month old and trying to choke down lunch, I ran across this song… I took a breath and realized that I should soak this time in and enjoy it more. I am so very blessed.

[TrayA]

My daughter’s first day of school was yesterday. I held in the tears but my wife cried her eyes out. She’s almost 5 and I try to be the best dad I can. I try to soak up every moment I can. I love that little girl more than anything. This song brings those emotions to the top and hit the nail in the head.

[margaretsmith]

This beautiful song holds a special meaning for us 60+ year olds, that have lost children, grandchildren and parents. I'm so glad you made this song and hope it encourages countless people to value and take the time to enjoy the moments we have with loved ones.
Traumatic events, fear, sin and all the storms of life, wage war against Love. But in the end, Love wins! God is Love, and can take our shattered dreams and broken hearts, to create stories of Amazing Grace & Restoration.

[virginiavet]

Got a three-month old at home who's my whole world. My wife and I are tired and feel like we screw up all the time.
But we wouldn't trade these days away for anything.
This song broke me. Thank you.

[David-fjmd]

Dude I just found your stuff tonight. I doubt you will ever see this but geez what powerful lyrics in all of your songs. God touched my heart through your music and its exactly what I needed. Thank you for allowing Him to use you.

[iam_n.m.audrey]

To everyone reading this, you're going to overcome the toughest situation you're going through. I believe in you 🙏💯

[michellecheriekjv]

Slow Down and enjoy Family and friends....put down the social media and watch your children play...Kiss and hug your spouse....Love your parents. Call out to the Lord and ask Him to send His Holy Spirit. Open the Bible to the Gospel of John.... Jesus is God in the flesh and God is Triune. One God consisting of 3 Divine persons.... Salvation is by Faith alone.... Salvation can't be lost if you've been Born Again into God's Kingdom. 📖🌷💕
