These are the Days (Acoustic Live)

Hospital 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 singin' 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

It had a funny way of just passing us by

These are the days that we'll want back

So tell 'em bedtime 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

But 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 tryin' to make it through to that glass of cheap wine

And these are the days that we'll want back

We'll want back

So tell 'em bedtime 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

But 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 feels like goodbye

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

Tell 'em bedtime 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
