Hospital to 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 singing nursery rhymes
These are the days that we'll want back
The kindergarten drop off one
His first day of school, didn't even cry
And that was when we knew that life
It had a funny way of passing us by
These are the days that we'll want back
So, tell 'em bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss goodnight
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 him ride
Juggling dinner, school and practice times
Just trying to make it through that glass of cheep wine
And these are the days that we'll want back, we'll want back
So, tell 'em bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss goodnight
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 tear that we cried
All of the, "How does this work, dad?" And "Mom, tell me why"
Sometimes growing up feel like goodbye
There was time when we were your world
And 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 'em bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss goodnight
'Cause before you know it
That old house will be quiet
I know you're wild right now
Someday we'll laugh about it
Let's raise a glass and toast to that
'Cause we'll always be your Mmm and dad
And these are the days that we'll want back
We'll want 'em back, we'll want 'em back
