One Day They Won't

One's got basketball, one's got a test

One's got a crush on a boy she just met

Sometimes it gets crazy around here

But I know we've been blessed

Twenty four hours is the blink of an eye

It's hard slowing down while it's all running wild

One needs a kiss and a story goodnight

One keeps you up till after midnight

One day they won't

One day they all will have lives of their own

You better hold 'em close and let 'em know

wherever they go they'll be loved

Time waits for no one

One day the years will go by and be gone

So let 'em stay here just as long as they want

Cause One day they won't

The marks on the walls and back of the chairs

Toys and the clothes that they leave on the stairs

you wish sometimes they'd just grow up

Yeah, We've all been there

The little ones climb up and sit in your lap

But they'll be a time they won't call you right back

The house will feel empty and feel so alone

Enjoy every minute that they call this home

There's times in the day that you wish you could make time stand still

And you'll want them to be here forever, yeah and you hope they will
