Last Time

Oh no, not again
You’re up at 2am
Screaming in your crib
It seems your scary dreams
Just won’t let you sleep
Will this ever end?

As I rock you for what feels like the hundredth times a million
Suddenly I'm frozen with this realization

This time could be the last time
I’ll get to hold you and sing your tears away
Time flies, in the blink of an eye
Without warning, you’ll move on to the next stage
So I’ll soak this moment up just in case
This time is the last time

Holding you against my chest
I feel the rhythm of your breath
This is my favorite place
If I had the power
To make this last forever
I would freeze time and space

This time could be the last time
I’ll get to hold you and sing your tears away
Time flies, in the blink of an eye
Without warning, you’ll move on to the next stage
So I’ll soak this moment up just in case
This time is the last time

I can’t make life slow down
So I’ll savor the here and now
I memorize the sound of you giggling
We snuggle for a while
I get lost in your smile
Cause this moment soon will be a memory

This time could be the last time
I’ll get to hold you and sing your tears away
Time flies, in the blink of an eye
Without warning, you’ll grow up and move away
So I’ll read you one more book and stay up late
And soak this moment up just in case
This time is the last time

I'm soaking it in
