This phase is gonna fly by
Asus2 F#m Bm Asus2
So baby just hold on
G Asus2 D
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

Then he'll walk her down the isle
Asus2 F#m
And raise her vale
Bm
But right now she up and cry'n
Asus2
And the truth is that he dont mind
G D
As he kisses her good night
Asus2
And she says her prayers
G D
He lays down there beside her
Asus2 D
'Til her eyes are finally closed
G D
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Asus2 D
Cause he already knows
G Asus2 D
It wont be like this for long
G Asus2
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
F#m Bm Asus2
All grown up and gone
