While it's here
Enjoy it while it lasts
Mud between toes
Fights in the car
Stop, or I'll turn this car around!
You look around and those times
Can't be found
Babies grow up
And then they leave you alone
But you still treasure
Those times you have known
You sometimes wish
You could have back
Just one day
Holding them in your lap
Or swinging on a swing
Picking blue berries
Swimming in the swimming hole
Studying for tests
Bringing their friends home
They must grow up
Yes, they must!
Hold them while you can
Their time is coming fast
To leave you with these memories
But the love will last...
