Cory Asbury - These Are The Days Lyrics

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
