I heard this on the radio this morning and tear were a rollin'...going through another post preggo hormone shift I think!! I would have to say this is my mantra right now...I swear it will never end, but it will...and then I will be looking back laughing and smiling...so until then, I enjoy!

"It Won't be Like this for Long"
He didn't have to wake up He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says, "It's gonna be okay"
"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long
"Four years later, 'bout 4:30 She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him He says, "What can I do?
"She says, "Now, don't you worry This'll only last a week or two"
"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"
Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil, But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart 'Cause he already knows
It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long

Aaaaahhhhhh! It's a good thing I didn't wear mascara today! LOL I actually heard this song on the radio for the first time coming home from TN. Anthony and Mackenna both were sleeping and I just sat there and teared up. It's so true what he says. I so remember the days when Mackenna was first born and she would cry all night and I would be a walking zombie and now here she is two years old and already so independent! I'll have to remember this song when this next baby is born and I'm up in the middle of the night wishing I was getting some sleep. LOL :o) Thanks for posting this!
I cried! Seriously!!! I've never heard the song, but i'm gonna look it up!
