[Verse 1] He didnt have to wake up Hed been up all night Lying 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 is going to be OK [Chorus] It wont be like this for long One day well look back laughing At the week we brought her home This phase is going to fly by So baby just hold on It wont be like this for long [Verse 2] Four years later bout four thirty Shes crawling in their bed And when he drops her off at preschool Shes clinging to his leg The teacher peels her off of him He says what can I do She says now do not you worry This will only last a week or two [Chorus] It wont be like this for long One day soon youll drop her off And she wont even know youre gone This phase is going to fly by If you could just hold on It wont be like this for long [Verse 3] Someday soon shell be a teenager And at times hell think she hates him Then hell walk her down the aisle And hell raise her veil But right now she up and crying And the truth is that he dont mind As he kisses her good night And she says her prayers He lays down there beside her Till her eyes are finally closed And just watching her it breaks his heart Cause he already knows [Chorus] It wont be like this for long One day soon that little girl is going to be All grown up and gone Yeah this phase is going to fly by He is trying to hold on It wont be like this for long It wont be like this for long
