I Wish I Could

<br>(Tom Douglas/Randy Thomas)<br><br>Looking out my window<br>See you playing in the leaves<br>It`s amazing how a little girl<br>Means all the world to me<br>When I tell you that I love you<br>I love you more than words can say<br><br>Smile, say cheese pretty-please<br>I wanna take your picture<br>How`d you ever get so big<br>I gotta take your picture<br>Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away<br><br>I wish I could save these moments<br>And put `em in a jar<br>I wish I could stop the world from turning<br>Keep things just the way they are<br>I wish I could shelter you from everything<br>Not pure and sweet and good<br>I know I can`t, I know I can`t<br>But I wish I could<br><br>When you kiss me for no reason<br>It goes straight to my heart<br>When I feel your arms around me<br>I almost fall apart<br>It`s time for bed you whisper<br>Daddy, we forgot to pray<br><br>I wish I could save these moments<br>And put `em in a jar<br>I wish I could stop the world from turning<br>Keep things just the way they are<br>I wish I could shelter you from everything<br>Not pure and sweet and good<br>I know I can`t, I know I can`t<br>But I wish I could<br><br>And when I watch you sleeping<br>All my worries fade away<br>A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face<br><br>I wish I could save these moments<br>And put `em in a jar<br>I wish I could stop the world from turning<br>Keep things just the way they are<br>I wish I could shelter you from everything<br>Not pure and sweet and good<br>I know I can`t, I know I can`t<br>I know I can`t<br>But I wish I could
