Some song lyrics for mommies of little ones....

I hope this wasn't already posted- I tried to make sure by searching and I didn't see it.

I just think this song is so perfect for what all moms and dads of little ones are going through- we had a hard time with Matty and Caity with sleeping- and Matty took two months nearly to adjust to school.....this song makes me cry and reminds me of how lucky and blessed we are......




It Won't Be Like This for Long lyrics
in "Learn to Live" by Darius Rucker

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Laying there in bed listening
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

[Chorus]
It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laughin'
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now dont you worry
This will only last a week or two

[Chorus]

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times he'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle
And he'll raise her veil
But right now she's up and crying
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long
