[00:14.33] He didn't have to wake up

[00:17.52] He'd been up all night

[00:20.71] Lying there in bed listening

[00:23.62] To his newborn baby cry

[00:26.81] He makes a pot of coffee

[00:29.74] He splashes water on his face

[00:33.72] His wife gives him a kiss and says

[00:36.65] It's gonna be OK

[00:40.09] It won't be like this for long

[00:45.95] One day we'll look back laughing

[00:50.20] At the week we brought her home

[00:53.92] This phase is gonna fly by

[00:57.38] So baby just hold on

[01:00.57] It won't be like this for long

[01:10.39] Four years later 'bout four thirty

[01:13.31] She's crawling in their bed

[01:16.78] And when he drops her off at pre-school

[01:20.24] She's clinging to his leg

[01:23.43] The teacher peels her off of him

[01:27.15] He says, "What can I do?"

[01:30.60] She says, "Now don't you worry

[01:33.26] This will only last a week or two"

[01:36.98] It won't be like this for long

[01:42.81] One day soon you'll drop her off

[01:46.80] And she won't even know you're gone

[01:50.53] This phase is gonna fly by

[01:54.24] If you can just hold on

[01:58.48] It won't be like this for long

[02:03.81] Someday soon she'll be a teenager

[02:07.27] And at times he'll think she hates him

[02:10.46] Then he'll walk her down the aisle

[02:13.38] And raise her veil

[02:16.84] But right now she's up and crying

[02:20.03] And the truth is that he don't mind

[02:23.75] As he kisses her goodnight

[02:26.41] And she says her prayers

[02:30.13] He lays down there beside her

[02:33.84] 'Til her eyes are finally closed

[02:37.03] And just watching her it breaks his heart

[02:40.49] 'Cause he already knows

[02:43.41] It won't be like this for long

[02:49.01] One day soon that little girl is gonna be

[02:53.53] All grown up and gone

[02:57.25] Yeah this phase is gonna fly by

[03:01.24] So he's trying to hold on

[03:04.69] 'Cause it won't be like this for long

[03:11.33] It won't be like this for long
