TIme Machine (Daughter Version)

Today those double doors are gonna fling wide open

And my hand will be the only one you're holding

And when I squeeze it tight

And Look in your eyes i'll see

Pigtails, Painted nails, and toy tea parties

Backpacks, sleeping bags, best friends and Barbies

It feels like yesterday

Was only yesterday

I'd invent a time machine just to live it over and over

Wouldn't trade a million dollars for even just one little moment

From your first breath

You had my heart

I must've blinked

'cause here we are

So can we take these last few minutes slow

Before I let you go

Started rehearsing before you were even standing

Throw on the radio in the living room dancing

Your tippy toes on mine

While I kept time

Suddenly those 2 left feet are in a fancy prom dress

And then stepping on the gas in a 4 door packed to the brim with boxes

If I could change one thing

I'd only change one thing

I'd invent a time machine just to live it over and over

Wouldn't trade a million dollars for even just one little moment

From your first breath

You had my heart

I must've blinked

'cause here we are

So can we take these last few minutes slow

Before I let you go

Let you fly

Kiss your cheek

And probably cry

Oh, it hurts to say goodbye

Even when it's not goodbye

Still I'd invent a time machine to live it over and over

Wouldn't trade a million dollars for just one little moment

From your first breath

You had my heart

I must've blinked

'cause here we are

Can we take these last few minutes slow

Before I let you go

Today those double doors are gonna fling wide open

My hand's not gonna be the one you're holding
