These Are The Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
So tell them bed time stories
Give em' a kiss good night
Someday before we know it
This old house will be quiet
I know wе're tired right now
Someday wе'll laugh about it
Let's slow it down and raise a glass
'Cause these are the days that we'll want back

[Verse 3]
It took us a day to build that bike
Felt like we only got a minute to watch them ride
Juggling dinner, school and practice times
Just trying to make it through to that glass of cheap wine
These are the days that we'll want back
We'll want back

[Chorus]
So tell them bed time 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
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 4]
There was a 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

[Chorus]
Tell them bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss good night
'Cause before you 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
'Cause we'll always be your Mom and Dad
And these are the days that we'll want back

We'll want 'em back
We'll want 'em back
