The Early Days
I was standin' out at Stanfield, had to go away
Saw a brand new baby and the mother's face
I knew that it was over, all those early days
Our babies are not babies, we'll never be the same
Shopping cart full of toddlers at the Superstore
They were eatin' goldfish, askin' for more
An old man lined up behind us, and he shook his head
The kids were strangely quiet
I heard him when he said
You've got to hold on, it goes so fast
These early days, well, they don't last
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
The baby days, well, they don't last
Look forward to the evenin' when the monkeys go to bed
Then we talk all night about 'em, we feel half dead
We used to be too tired to eat in
But it's a total crap shoot to eat out
You've got to hold on, it goes so fast
These early days, well, they don't last
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
The baby days, well, they don't last
Oh, you're gettin' rid of diapers that you washed every night
And we're saving up for date night so we can have our fight
If it's quiet for a moment, oh, you better run upstairs
'Cause the toothpaste in the bathroom is redefining everywhere
You've got to hold on, it goes so fast
These early days, well, they don't last
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
The baby days, well, they don't last
Oh, I like the way you talk now, you talk like me
All the funny things you're saying, you're real good company
Oh, the odds are strong and crazy, and our love profound
You make our messy house feel like holy ground
You've got to hold on, it goes so fast
These early days, well, they don't last
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
The baby days, well, they don't last
Shopping cart full of toddlers at the superstore
They were eatin' goldfish asking for more
An old man lined up behind us, and he shook his head
The kids were strangely quiet
I heard him when he said
Saw a brand new baby and the mother's face
