These Days

They're looking older 
younger now  
growing bolder somehow  
these days 

You're doing things that I wouldn't do 
There's less of me and so much  
more of you these days 

I saw myself in my baby's eyes 
You're not my baby now it's no surprise 
these days 

You're the quiet storm  
I'm the rock you never could roll 
So pick me up now 
I think it's time to let you 
toss me in the water 
but before the ripples settle 
you'll be in my space in another time 
maybe then we'll share a state of mind 
someday 

When the future Mom and Daddy plan 
passes from me to you you'll understand  
someday 

Chorus: 
So let your fire burn   
try to keep it under control 
remember flames die and  
everybody loses if the heat 
of the moment brings an  
early arrival 
It's a senior ring or a wedding band 
A girls a woman now a boys a man 
these days 

So let your fire burn   
try to keep it under control 
remember flames die and  
everybody loses if the heat 
of the moment brings an  
early arrival 

Looking older  
younger now my boys 
growing bolder somehow 
these days 

They're looking older  
younger now my boys 
growing bolder somehow 
these days
