I hope these are the mornings I remember
Brushing hair, cracking eggs
Trading rhymes
Checking bags, chasing shoes, turning cartwheels
Till it's go time
I hope that these are the mornings I hold on to
If it's early we all curl up on the couch
And in the stillness of the half light
My whole world's in nightgowns
But these days are all numbered
There's nothing I can do
Those years seemed so long
Till they were gone way too soon
Oh nothin' lasts forever
And somehow that it makes it better
I hope these are the mornings I remember
I hope these are the days I carry with me
Drivin' 'round, counting flags in the van
Overalls, underdogs, I pick you both up, while I still can
And I still can
And I hope these are the days that I can call on
When I'm older, all alone here in the yard
I'll close while I try to hear your voices singing
In my heart
You're in my heart
But these days are all numbered
There's nothing I can do
Those years seemed so long
Till they were gone way too soon
Oh nothin lasts forever
Somehow that it makes it better
I hope these are the days I remember
Don't get me started on the nights
Layin down with you for 5
Turns into 10, then it's 20
I had all your answers honey
These days are all numbered
And there's nothin that I won't lose
But I'll beat those memories
In my chest
Till I'm left with just the bruise
I guess nothin' lasts forever
Somehow that it makes it better
I hope these are the days I remember
Oh nothing lasts forever
That's why bittersweet is better
I hope these are the days I remember
