[Verse 1]
Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark
Catching fireflies in mason jars
It's two thousand and seven, the closest that I'll ever get to heaven
But I can't see that far
And you were still a baby, of course you'll always be my little lady
But then you were free
Before you started caring 'bout what you were wearing
God, you're turning into me
[Chorus]
I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say
It's not as good as it seems
'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better
Than being a kid with a dream
[Verse 2]
I never knew you would care about me leaving
'Til I see you on the street when we're packing up the car
Your soft smile, those wide eyes, it's like you're five years old again
Trying not to cry
My whole world's getting bigger now
I promise you I'm not leaving you out
Enjoy it now while it's here, 'cause this'll be you in a couple of years
Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark
