Two GREAT songs.

My new favorite song is "It won't be like this for Long" by Daruis Rucker. For me, this song makes me cry EVERY time I hear it. It is a snapshot of my life I swear. I think good old Darius wrote the song specifically for me. Seriously.

Here are the lyrics.

He didn't have to wake up--

He'd been up all night--

Laying there in bed listening to his new born 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 wont be like this for long.

One day soon we'll look back laughing at the week we brought her home.

This phase is gonna fly by--So baby just hold on.

It wont be like this for long.
Four years later about four thirty She's crawling in there bed.

And when he drops her off at preschool 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 will only last a week or two
It wont be like this for long. One day soon you'll drop her off And she won't even know your gone.

This phase is gonna fly by If you can just hold on It wont be like this for long.
One day soon she'll be a teenager And at times you'll think she hates him

Then he'll walk her down the isle And he'll raise her veil

But right now she up and crying

And the truth is that he don't mind

As he kisses her good night

And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her until her eyes are finally closed

And just watching her it breaks his heart

Cause he already knows

It wont be like this for long

One day soon that little girl is gonna be All grown up and gone

Yeah this phase is gonna fly by

He's trying to hold on

It wont be like this for long

It wont be like this for long

I would also suggest that you go to you tube and check it out. Honestly, it would be the best 3 minutes of your day. It's a great song. (sniff, sniff)

and, hell, while I am at it. I will throw in one that karley and I love to sing when we are together. (did i mention that we do this a lot?)

It's called The Best Day by Taylor Swift.

Here are the lyrics:

I'm five years old and it's getting cold

I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides

Look now the sky is gold

I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall

I know you're not scared of anything at all

Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away

But I know I had the best day with you today

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean

I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys

And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away

And we talk and window shop till I forget their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school

But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you

Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay

But I know I had the best day with you today

i have an excellent father

His strength is making me stronger

God smiles on my little brother

Inside and out he's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house and i had space to run

And I had the best days with you

There is a video i found from back when i was three

You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs

Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lad in the whole wide world

Now i know why all the trees change in the fall

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

And I love you for giving me your eyes

Staying back and watching me shine

and I didn't know if you knew

So I'm taking this chance to say:

that i had the best day with you today

Happy Tuesday everyone.
