The Days Are Long But The Years Are Short

Remember when we heard that first cry
God knew what we needed on that crazy night
Seems like yesterday we brought that little baby home
So I know today was hard, but it'll be fine
Cause our little one is growing up overnight
Soon we'll look back on these times and wish there were more
Cause the days are long, but the years are short
Oh, the years are short
It's so easy to forget
That being a mom or dad, that's as good as it gets
And with every up and down comes a blessing never found
If it weren't for our little child
So I know today was hard, but it'll be fine
Cause our little one is growing up overnight
Soon we'll look back on these times and wish there were more
Cause the days are long, but the years are short
The days are long, but the years are short
Teach us, Lord, to number our days
Knowing through the struggle, there's much to gain
Cause in the moment it can be so hard to look on down the road
But one day we'll be standing there, saying where'd time go
I know today was hard, but it'll be fine
Cause our little one is growing up overnight
Soon we'll look back on these times and wish there were more
Cause the days are long, but the years are short
Whoa, the days are long, but the years are short
The days are long, but the years are short
