These are the days we’ll want back

Don’t tell Cory Asbury I stole his lyrics for this one.

If you wanna listen with me I’ve got this one on repeat this week.

Hospital home was a four minute drive 
The baby on board made it 35 
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

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 passing us by
These are the days that we'll want back.

So tell 'em bedtime 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.

It took us a day to build that bike 
Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride
Juggling dinner, school, and practice times 
Just trying to make it through to that glass of cheap wine
And these are the days that we'll want back.

So tell 'em bedtime 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

And all of the countless, crazy, sleepless nights
All of the first and the last 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.
