A friend of mine played this song for me yesterday and it brought both of us to tears. She said that every time she hears it she thinks of Marc and Avery b/c she says that he just seems to be such a hands on Dad and extremely loving to her. That to me was the highest compliment you can say to me about my husband b/c it is SO entirely true. His daughter is his entire life and you can see it every time he looks at her. She gives him a hug and says "I love you Daddy" and it brings tears to his eyes. He watched Avery and I say her prayers last night and it brought tears to his eyes. When he drops her off at day-care and she cries when he leaves her it brings tears to his eyes so this song perfectly sums up Avery and Marc and it brings tears to my eyes!!
He didnt have to wake up
He'd been up all nite
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
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 OK
It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back n'laugh
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly byS
o baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long
Four years later bout 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 doShe says now dont you worry
This will only last a week or two
It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she wont 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 vale
But right now she's up and cry'n
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 watch'n 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 try'n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long
