Long are the days
When you're running late
One's got ballet
One's got a ball game
You feel like your running 'round
In a maze
Long are the days
And it's always
One's getting picked on
They can't get along
And you can't wait
Till they grow out of that phase
Long are the days
But short are the years
They go by in the blink of an eye
Your babies grow up in no time
You turn around to pick 'em up
But they're not here
Short are the years
Long are the nights
When they start to drive
You can't go to sleep, can't rest easy
'Til you see headlights pulling in
Into the drive
Long are the nights
But short are the years
They go by in the blink of an eye
Your babies grow up in no time
You turn around to pick 'em up
But they're not here
Short are the years
Where did the time go
It seemed like yesterday
It wasn't that long ago
Short are the years
They go by in the blink of an eye
Seems like overnight
You turn around to pick 'em up
But they're not here
Short are the years
Short are the years
Short Are the Years
