Hospital to home was a four minute drive
                H                                              A

We didn't sleep a wink that night

Just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes

These are the days that we’ll want back

The kindergarten drop off line

His first day of school, didn't even cry

So tell them bed time stories,

give ’em a kiss good night

Darling, before we know it 
                     E                   H
this old house will be quiet
                           C#m              A
I know we'rе tired right now,

someday we'll laugh about it
                         C#m        A           H             
Lеt's slow it down and raise a glass

Juggling dinner, school and practice times
                           H
Just trying to make it through
                                           A  
 to that glass of cheap wine
                                            E

And all of the countless 
     E/G#     A           H
crazy sleepless nights
                    F#m             E/G#
All of the firsts and the lasts 
                  A                   H
and the tears that we cried
                       F#m               E/G#
All of the "How does this work, Dad?"
                 C#m            H
 and "Mom, tell me why"
                         F#m           E/G#            A
Sometimes growing up feels like goodbye

give ’em a kiss good night

                                   C#m         A          H
'Cause we'll always be your Mom and Dad

And these are the days that we'll want back
                                                             
We'll want 'em back,
