๐ Lyrics
One, we didn't sleep at all
Two was footsteps down the hall
Three, you're jumping to me in the pool
Four was princess dressing up
Five was tea in plastic cups
Six, you got your backpack off to school
Can't believe how fast it flies
They always say, don't blink, and now I know why
18 summers gone like that
18 years you don't get back
18 trips around the sun, don't it make you wonder?
Why holding time's like holding sand
Always slipping through my hands
What I'd give to hold you for another
18 summers
Oh, 18 summers
Seven was the Disney trip
Eight was singing Taylor Swift
Nine was bedtime prayers and saying, "Jesus, I believe"
Ten, 11, like a weed you grew
12, 13, well, middle school
14, high school's coming, and you're way too cool for me
Can't believe how fast it flies
18 summers gone like that
18 years you don't get back
18 trips around the sun, don't it make you wonder?
Why holding time's like holding sand
Always slipping through my hands
What I'd give to hold you for another
18 summers
15, first boy broke your heart
16, driving daddy's car
17, you're wild and free, and I'm waiting up for you
Then there you stood, cap and gown
And I'm smiling as I think about
How every one before's what led us to
Dorm room number 205
A grown man trying not to cry
Can't wait to see all you're gonna do
Your mom and me and two aching hearts
Driving home in an empty car
Thanking God for the gift of raising you
For 18 summers
18 summers
Two was footsteps down the hall
Three, you're jumping to me in the pool
Four was princess dressing up
Five was tea in plastic cups
Six, you got your backpack off to school
Can't believe how fast it flies
They always say, don't blink, and now I know why
18 summers gone like that
18 years you don't get back
18 trips around the sun, don't it make you wonder?
Why holding time's like holding sand
Always slipping through my hands
What I'd give to hold you for another
18 summers
Oh, 18 summers
Seven was the Disney trip
Eight was singing Taylor Swift
Nine was bedtime prayers and saying, "Jesus, I believe"
Ten, 11, like a weed you grew
12, 13, well, middle school
14, high school's coming, and you're way too cool for me
Can't believe how fast it flies
18 summers gone like that
18 years you don't get back
18 trips around the sun, don't it make you wonder?
Why holding time's like holding sand
Always slipping through my hands
What I'd give to hold you for another
18 summers
15, first boy broke your heart
16, driving daddy's car
17, you're wild and free, and I'm waiting up for you
Then there you stood, cap and gown
And I'm smiling as I think about
How every one before's what led us to
Dorm room number 205
A grown man trying not to cry
Can't wait to see all you're gonna do
Your mom and me and two aching hearts
Driving home in an empty car
Thanking God for the gift of raising you
For 18 summers
18 summers
