[Verse] Sunrise on the back porch, coffee in my hand, Saw my little boy runnin', in the soft, cool sand, Barefoot and laughing, twinkling in his eye, I watched him growin' up beneath the big, blue sky. [Verse 2] His sister's on the rollin' swing, hair a-flyin' free, Her laughter rings like church bells, pure and wild like Tennessee, They grow so fast and precious, it's like a summer breeze, I'm holdin' on to moments, down on bended knees. [Chorus] Oh, I'm watchin' them grow, right before my eyes, From tiny hands to strong young souls, like eagles in the skies, Their lives a country melody, in the heartland's gentle flow, I'm prayin' time will take it slow, while I'm watchin' them grow. [Verse 3] Baseball games and pony rides, teachers and goodbyes, Nighttime stories whisperin', dreams light up the night skies, Their faces changin' every day, like autumn leaves that fall, I place my hope in every step they take, standin' tall. [Bridge] I see their future callin', like a distant cowboy's song, It tells of love and heartache, of finding where they belong, My heart swells with pride and fear, as they journey on their own, But I'll be here, a steady rock, wherever they may roam. [Chorus] Oh, I'm watchin' them grow, right before my eyes, From tiny hands to strong young souls, like eagles in the skies, Their lives a country melody, in the heartland's gentle flow, I'm prayin' time will take it slow, while I'm watchin' them grow.
