It Won't Be Like This For Long Lyrics


He didn't have to wake up, he'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening to his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee, he splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says it's gonna be okay
It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing at the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by, so baby just hold on
It won't be like this for long
Four years later 'bout 4:30, she's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school she's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him, he says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now don't you worry, this'll only last a week or two"
It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off and she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by if you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long
Someday soon she'll be a teenager and at times he'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle and raise her veil

But right now she's up and crying and the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight and she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart 'cause he already knows
It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be all grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by, so he's trying to hold on
'Cause it won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Darius Rucker (born May 13, 1966 in Charleston, South Carolina[1]) is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the American rock band Hootie & The Blowfish, of which he has been a member since the band's inception in 1989.

Along with his work in Hootie & The Blowfish, Rucker recorded one studio album, entitled Back to Then, on Hidden Beach Recordings in 2002. In 2008, he signed to Capitol Nashville and charted his first solo single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", the first single from his first country album Learn To Live.

Rucker has been a member of Hootie & The Blowfish since their original formation in 1989. He met fellow band members, Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, and Dean Felber, while attending the University of South Carolina.

In 2001, he made his solo R&B debut album The Return of Mongo Slade for Atlantic Records. Because of contractual changes, it was never released by the label.[1] Hidden Beach Recordings, an independent label, acquired the masters from Atlantic, releasing the album as Back to Then in July 2002.[1]

Rucker also portrayed a singing cowboy in a television commercial for the fast food chain Burger King, promoting their TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch sandwich in 2005; in the commercial, he sang a parody of "Big Rock Candy Mountain".[2]

In early 2008, Rucker signed to Capitol Records Nashville as the beginning of a career in country music. His first country single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" (which he co-wrote with Clay Mills) debuted at #51 on Billboard's Hot country Songs charts for the week of May 3, 2008, and it will serve as the lead-off single to an upcoming album for Capitol, Learn To Live.[3]
