[Verse 1] These are the days we’ll talk about Chasing her giggles ’til we wear out Waving at strangers down grocery aisles Stopping to blow where the dandelions smile Dinner with sourdough, stories we share One sets the table, the other's out there Spinning with Kaiya in sunbeam streaks Laughing so hard we can’t even speak [Pre-Chorus] And every little thing we do Is stitched in time, a dream come true From messy floors to sky-high swings This life is made of little things [Chorus] These are the days, don’t need more proof Love in the laughter under our roof Kaiya saying “Mama,” reaching for “Daddy” Every word a little gift we never had These are the days that time can’t steal The ones that make the whole thing real If joy’s a song, we’ve learned the phrase And we’re singing, dancing through these days [Verse 2] She feeds the floor more than her mouth And somehow, that’s what joy’s about One cooks dinner, one runs wild That’s the rhythm of raising our child Diaper droopin’, dance moves fly She’s got the wiggles in her tiny thighs I hear the giggles from the other side Like music that makes your whole heart wide Tote full of books, like a literary feast Bunnies and birdies and bedtime beasts A hundred kisses before we go Hanging on like it’s all she knows [Pre-Chorus] And every little thing we do Is stitched in time, a dream come true From messy floors to sky-high swings This life is made of little things [Final Chorus – Big, Joyful, Danceable] These are the days, don’t blink too fast They’re not designed to forever last But we’ve got this moment, we’ve got this song A place where messy and magic belong Fresh manicure and flour on cheeks Kaiya inventing new words each week And all the joy our hearts can raise Yeah, these—these are the days
