These are the Days (Bonus Track)

[Verse 1]

Hospital, home was a four minute drive

The baby on board made it thirty-five

We didn't sleep a wink that night

Just laid by that crib, singin' nursery rhymes

And these are the days that we'll want back

The kindergarten drop off line

His first day of school, didn't even cry

And that was when we knew that life

It had a funny way of just passin' us by

And these are the days that we'll want back

[Chorus]

So tell 'em bed time stories, give 'em a kiss good night

Darlin', before we know it, this old house will be quiet

I know wе're tired right now, someday wе'll laugh about it

Let's slow it down and raise a glass

'Cause these are the days that we'll want back

[Verse 2]

It took us a day to build that bike

Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride

Jugglin' dinner, school and practice times

Just tryna 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 bed time 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, 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 3]

There was a time when we were your world

But now you're movin' on to marry your girl

So, buy your house and call it home

And give her a life, and some kids of her own

[Chorus]

Tell 'em bed time 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, but someday we'll laugh about it

Let's raise a glass and toast to that

'Cause we'll always be your mom and dad

And these are the days that we'll want back

We'll want 'em back, we'll want 'em back
