I Wish I Could


Looking out my window
see you playing in the leaves
it's amazing how a little girl
means all the world to me
when i tell you that i love you
i love you more than words can say
smile say cheese pretty please
i wanna take your picture
how'd you ever get so big
i gotta take your picture
and hold on to the mem'ry before
the whole things slips away
i wish i could save these moments
and put 'em in a jar
i wish i could stop
the world from turning
keep things just the way they are
i wish i could shelter you from
everything not pure and sweet and good
i know i can't, i know i can't
but i wish i could
When you kiss me for no reason
it goes straight to my heart
when i feel your arms around me
i almost fall apart
it's time for bed
you whisper "daddy we forgot to pray"
i wish i could save these moments...
When i watch you sleeping
all my worries slip away
a little bit of heaven
close on your gentle face
i wish i could save these moments...
