[Verse 1]
Mom on the porch swing
Turnin' one more page
Shade on her shoulders
Slow in the afternoon haze
Daddy by the mailbox
With his old hand tools
He moves like he's borrowin'
Every minute he can use
[Pre-Chorus]
I watch the screen door
I watch the light
Falling on their faces
Like it knows this life
And I swear the yard keeps
Taking its time
While my heart keeps saying
Please, not tonight
[Chorus]
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
Let the porch swing hold them
Let the whole world slow
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
I can't lose the way
Their golden hours glow
(Freeze this moment)
[Verse 2]
Her book in her lap now
His wrench in his hand
They built this old house
From a dream to a land
Mom laughs at a sentence
Dad hums to the boards
Two stubborn survivors
I love them more and more
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see the lines
By the corners of their eyes
Every little story
That the years have written by
If I could borrow magic
Just for one deep breath
I’d keep them here together
Like this forever yet
[Chorus]
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
Let the porch swing hold them
Let the whole world slow
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
I can't lose the way
Their golden hours glow
(Freeze this moment)
[Bridge]
If time is a river
I’m standing in the rain
Trying to cup the water
Trying to call their names
I know I can't keep it
But I still will try
To hold this day inside me
Till the day I die
[Final Chorus]
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
Let the porch swing hold them
Let the whole world slow
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
I can't lose the way
Their golden hours glow
Freeze this moment
Freeze this moment
If love could make a promise
I'd never let it go
(Freeze this moment)
(Freeze this moment)
