Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two sons
Two daughters
Bare feet in the sandbox sand
Plastic pails
Crooked castles
Little worlds in their tiny hands
Playing hide and seek at dusk
Laughing loud when the screen door slams
One behind the curtain
One under the laundry stands (gotcha!)
[Chorus]
These are the days I’m holding
Riding on my shoulders
Touching the sky
Splashing in the rain
Coats wide open
Chasing dinosaurs
Chasing fireflies
If time’s gonna fly
Let it fly right here
With you in my arms
My little light years
[Verse 2]
Grass stains on their knees
Cartoons on their favorite tees
Mud on the welcome mat
They swear it wasn’t them
It was the cat
Kitchen floor turns into oceans
Cardboard swords and dragon lairs
They roar like tiny monsters
Then fall asleep on the stairs (so tired)
[Chorus]
These are the days I’m holding
Riding on my shoulders
Touching the sky
Splashing in the rain
Coats wide open
Chasing dinosaurs
Chasing fireflies
If time’s gonna fly
Let it fly right here
With you in my arms
My little light years
[Bridge]
One day they’ll run past the corner
Too big to fit in my old white chair
But I’ll still hear small feet in the hallway
I’ll still feel their fingers in my hair (oh)
[Chorus]
These are the days I’m holding
Riding on my shoulders
Touching the sky
Splashing in the rain
Coats wide open
Chasing dinosaurs
Chasing fireflies
If time’s gonna fly
Let it fly right here
With you in my arms
My little light years
