These Are The Days by Cory Asbury

Verse 1

Hospital home was a four minute drive
The baby on board made it thirtyfive
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

Verse 2

The kindergarten dropoff 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

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

And 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

Verse 4

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

Chorus

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
We'll always be your Mom and Dad

Outro

And these are the days
That we'll want back
We’ll want ‘em back
We’ll want ‘em back
