The Days Are Long But The Years Are Short Lyrics

Remember when we heard that first cry

God knew what we needed on that crazy night

Seems like yesterday we brought that little baby home

So I know today was hard, but it'll be fine

Cause our little one is growing up overnight

Soon we'll look back on these times and wish there were more

Cause the days are long, but the years are short

Oh, the years are short

It's so easy to forget

That being a mom or dad, that's as good as it gets

And with every up and down comes a blessing never found

If it weren't for our little child

So I know today was hard, but it'll be fine

Cause our little one is growing up overnight

Soon we'll look back on these times and wish there were more

Cause the days are long, but the years are short

The days are long, but the years are short

Teach us, Lord, to number our days

Knowing through the struggle, there's much to gain

Cause in the moment it can be so hard to look on down the road

But one day we'll be standing there, saying where'd time go

I know today was hard, but it'll be fine

Cause our little one is growing up overnight

Soon we'll look back on these times and wish there were more

Cause the days are long, but the years are short

Whoa, the days are long, but the years are short

The days are long, but the years are short
