[Verse 1]
I hear small feet on the hall floor
Little socks by the back door
One’s got curls, one’s got my grin
Same wild spark burning within
Lunchbox crumbs on the table
Tiny hands when they’re able
I blink and they’re already gone
Growing up before the dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
So I slow down when they call
Pick them up when they fall
Hold on tight to these days
'Cause they slip through my hands like rain
[Chorus]
Don’t let go of today
Let the little things stay
Two little boots by the door
Won’t be little long anymore
Stay here, stay close
That’s the one thing I know
Don’t let go of today
Don’t let go of today
[Verse 2]
She leaves me drawings on the fridge
He builds forts with old fence sticks
They ask questions I can’t answer
Then they laugh and run faster
I teach them how to cast lines
How to say the truth sometimes
But they teach me what it means
To live inside these in-between scenes
[Pre-Chorus]
So I keep my phone face down
When they’re dancing ’cross the ground
'Cause the best thing I could do
Is be right here with you
[Chorus]
Don’t let go of today
Let the little things stay
Two little boots by the door
Won’t be little long anymore
Stay here, stay close
That’s the one thing I know
Don’t let go of today
Don’t let go of today
[Bridge]
One day the porch will feel too quiet
One day they’ll drive off smiling
But right now there’s a whole world in this room
And I’m thankful for every minute with you
[Final Chorus]
Don’t let go of today
Let the little things stay
Two little boots by the door
Won’t be little long anymore
Stay here, stay close
That’s the one thing I know
Don’t let go of today
Don’t let go of today
