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 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 just passing us by These are the days that we’ll want back So tell them bedtime stories Give 'em a kiss good night Darling, 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 Took us a day to build that bike Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride Juggling dinner, school and practice time Trying to make it through that glass of cheep wine These are the days that we’ll want back, we'll want back So tell them bedtime stories Give 'em a kiss good night Darling, 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 firsts and the lasts 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 There was time when we were your world 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 them bedtime stories Give 'em a kiss good night 'Cause before we 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 We'll always be your mom and dad These are the days that we’ll want back We'll want 'em back, we'll want 'em back
