I Hope These Are the Days

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
