I heard this song for the first time tonight and instantly loved it. It describes perfectly the feelings I have so much of most of my days.
"You're Gonna Miss This" - Trace Adkins
She was staring out the window of their SUV
Complaning, saying "I can't wait to turn 18
She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said "I was just like you
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says
"Baby, just slow down"
Cause you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'
He says "They don't bother me.
I've got 2 babies of my own.
One's 36, one's 23.
Huh, it's hard to believe, but...
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it nowBut you're gonna miss this"

That is a really neat song. I remember feeling like I wanted my life to start and I realized, with prayer and poetry, that this is my life. And that I didn't want to spend my whole life waiting for something else to start. I think it is a great thing to be reminded of over and over again! Thanks!
My husband loves this song. OUr new joke with each other when the kids are driving us crazy and we want to pull our hair out we look at each other and say,"We're gonna miss this."
oh - wow - this is a great reminder! Thank you and thank you SO much for your precious encouragement and comments on my blog! Sunshine
I LOVE this song. I get teary almost every time I hear it. :)
Perfect song!
As I have been planning my eldest's high school years lately, I am really realizing how quickly it all passes by. Hard to see when you are in the midst of screaming kids and dirty diapers and meals to be made.
My mom likes to remind me though, often.
I keep telling my wife that she's going to miss these days later on and she's not so sure. Heh.
Great song. Thanks for sharing.
Great post! (And thank you so much for your sweet comment to Scott.)
