I Wish I Could

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