I Wish I Could Lyrics

Looking out my window, see you playing in the leaves
Its 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 saySmile, say cheese pretty-please I wanna take your picture
Howd you ever get so big, oh I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips awayI 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 areI wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I cant, I know I cant
But I wish I couldWhen you kiss me for no reason it goes straight to my heart
When I feel your arms around me I almost fall apart
Its time for bed you whisper, "Daddy, we forgot to pray"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 areI wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I cant, I know I cant

But I wish I couldAnd when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic faceI 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 areI wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I cant, I know I cant
I know I cant but I wish I could
