18 Summers

Remember when they were small and wide-eyed

Running through the fields

Pure joy personified

Every day a new adventure to explore

we always knew these moments wouldn't last forevermore

Time flies faster than we ever thought it could

As we watch them grow

Just like Mama said they would

From first steps to ball games with friends

Every moment screams

"Cherish this, this is where life begins."

In these 18 summers

We hold on tight

To every laugh

Every tear

Every sleepless night

We'll be there through it all

Every step of the way

For these 18 summers

these 18 summers

Missing crayon coloring the walls

The patch of grass

Under the swing never to grew that tall

The little things that drove me insane

Are the things I miss most now, that you've gone away

In these 18 summers

We hold on tight

To every laugh

Every tear

Every sleepless night

We'll be there through it all

Every step of the way

For these 18 summers

these 18 summers

For these 18 summers

We'll make memories that'll never fade away
