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

I’m getting married in December and i’m gonna dance with my mom to this song at my wedding. Thank you so much for this beautiful song!

[gennajpma]

I'm a mom of 4 ages 9-6-4-1 and I can't listen to this song with our tearing up or full blown crying. So sweet and true!!!

Sitting with my 1 day old son at the hospital. He has been awake all night but this song is getting me in the feels

[tayratliff]

Oh this is HAAAARRRD to listen to. I’m in the middle of this-my 3 little girls are not so little anymore and already one left a couple years ago and got married. She now has a baby. My middle daughter just turned 18 a couple weeks ago. My heart hurts so bad that sometimes I lay in bed early in the morning when everyone is asleep and just sob. I miss when they played dolls, skipped and giggled. I miss my home filled with the voices of my little girls. I want those days back so bad. I keep having to lean into the Lord during this season. It’s so painful for this mamas heart.

[Redskinviking]

Made this dad cry over and over. My boy is 3 in November and you brought it in this song. Thank you.

[leereams]

I have oldest son leaving for collge in a week...I'm not ready...but he is. He loves Jesus and will change the world for Him. Thank you Cory for blessing so many people with your gifts.

[georgesteffens]

These studio versions hit different. This dad of ferocious 7 and 4 year olds can’t listen to this without crying. We are smack in the middle of the story it tells - the days are long but the years are short. Thank you for sharing 🙏

[jaclynforeman]

I was a single mom of a boy..he's 20 now he's my life I miss him!! What I would do just to have him Lil again ..experience it all again..love you Trevor!!!!

[amymurphy]

As a 70+ widow, I can so relate to these lyrics. Empty nesting came years earlier than expected....

[ISO_Ministries]

Jesus is the way to these beautiful days to remember with tha family;) thank you Jesus ! Love your music Cory.

[imfreakingreat]

Dear God was my story, but it had such an emotional affect on me, that I was in love with your Godly, heartfelt music. I love how you try and try again....never stop trying and I won't! I Thank God for you! God Bless You and Your Praise and Worship Music!

[VeronicaVonxo]

Just sitting here holding my 4 1/2 month old baby who fell asleep on me when I discovered this song… Instant waterworks.

[deborahlyle]

My son is 43. He & his wife through GOD have given me 5 grands and this puts me in crying mode every time! 1 grown 1 in his Senior year of High school, 2 almost in middle school the last one is 5. I'm trying to hold on to these precious moments. That time goes by so fast. I treasure & thank GOD for those years ❤

[childofthemosthigh]

ain’t that the truth…to the young ones starting a family/raising lil ones this time will go by oh so quickly..cherish each moment even the frustrations cause like the tune sings…”these are the days we will want back..”
May the One True God strengthen, embolden, and bless all💛

I’ve been listening to your Pioneer album a lot lately. These are the days is so beautiful! I don’t have any kids and I still love it!

[josecabanasperales]

It's all about optimizing testosterone levels and being a savage until you listen to this song and cry like a baby thinking about your kids. Gets me every time
