[Verse 1] Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark Catching fireflies in mason jars It's two thousand and seven, the closest that I'll ever get to heaven But I can't see that far And you were still a baby, of course you'll always be my little lady But then you were free Before you started caring 'bout what you were wearing God, you're turning into me [Chorus] I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say It's not as good as it seems 'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better Than being a kid with a dream [Verse 2] I never knew you would care about me leaving 'Til I see you on the street when we're packing up the car Your soft smile, those wide eyes, it's like you're five years old again Trying not to cry My whole world's getting bigger now I promise you I'm not leaving you out Enjoy it now while it's here, 'cause this'll be you in a couple of years [Chorus] I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say It's not as good as it seems 'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better Than being a kid with a dream [Bridge] My first night away, it sets in that this is my place now I tried to go back in my mind but it's not the same now I'm really still a baby, and you're my little lady There's so much we haven't seen From a thousand miles away, I'll kiss you on the face And say goodnight and sweet dreams
