These are the Days Songtext
von Cory Asbury

Hospital to home was a four minute drive
The 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
And that was when we knew that life
It had a funny way of just passing us by
These are the days that we'll want back

So tell 'em bed time stories
Give ′em a kiss good night
Darlin′ 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


It took us a day to build that bike
Felt like we only got a minute to watch him 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

So tell 'em bed time stories
Give ′em a kiss good night
Darlin′ 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

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 feel like goodbye

There was time when we were your world
And 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 'em 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
Some day 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, want 'em back
