[Verse 1] They’ll come a day you say goodnight And instead of you, they’ll turn off the light You won’t get a call for one more song, Scratch my back or please don’t go. In that moment you’ll finally know There was truth to the words ‘you’ll miss it when it’s gone’, ‘it goes by too quickly’, ‘the next thing you know they’re grown’ [Chorus] They say to enjoy it while it lasts You’ll long for these days when they’re sitting in the past Each day goes faster than before If only you could turn back time and get a couple more [Verse 2] It may be hiding up a sleeve As your little one gets dressed independently It may be hiding underfoot Learning to tie shoelaces, slowly getting good Feed them a meal, wash a dish And don’t forget to feel, make a wish - For time to slow down, For it won’t be long until you turn around And the little one’s not little anymore. [Chorus] They say to enjoy it while it lasts You’ll long for these days when they’re sitting in the past Each day goes faster than before If only you could turn back time and get a couple more [Bridge] Take a breath. Just slow down. Take it in. Enjoy what’s found. [Verse 3] So cling to the moments, even when it’s tough Cuz some day soon you’ll realize you can never have enough Of drying tears, of calming fears, of hugs and holding hands Of growing pains, of endless games, of doing all you can Oh they grow up too quickly, the time it truly flies Form them well while you can before they spread their wings and fly [Chorus] They say to enjoy it while it lasts You’ll long for these days when they’re sitting in the past Each day goes faster than before If only you could turn back time and get a couple more Oh how I wish I could have a couple more
