It Won't Be Like This For Long
I'm not a country fan so I missed this song when it came out several years ago. Love Darius Rucker, though, and when I heard this on the radio yesterday, it made me cry. Thought that it would speak to other posters here, too (even if it's a pretty nice song for Father's Day):
IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG LYRICS
He didn’t have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It’s gonna be OK
It won’t be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughin’
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won’t be like this for long
Four years later, ‘bout four thirty
She's crawlin’ in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clingin’ to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, “What can I do?”
She says, “Now don’t you worry,
This’ll only last a week or two”
It won’t be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won’t even know you’re gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won’t be like this for long
Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times he'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil
But right now she’s up and cryin’
And the truth is that he don’t mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
‘Til her eyes are finally closed
And just watchin’ her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It won’t 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 tryin’ to hold on
Cause it won’t be like this for long
It won’t be like this for long
