[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
