Our Children Grow (Country Version) - Milygo Music

A song for every parent who gets caught up building tomorrow and sometimes forgets to live today. The noise, the toys, the little hands, the calls for “Mom” and “Dad” — one day, we’ll miss it all. Work can wait. Life can wait. Childhood can’t. This house is full of laughter and light Every corner holds a memory tonight Little hands are wrapped around mine But my head’s already lost in tomorrow’s time We keep saying “later,” keep saying “soon” Missing all these moments, blind to the room And one day we’ll blink, and it’s already gone These days will have slipped right past us and moved on I hope we don’t forget These days won’t come back twice One day all this noise Is what we’ll miss the most in life Let the house stay loud tonight Let the whole world learn to wait Let today, right here beside them Slow down, just a little, just today There’s always more work to be done But childhood won’t come round again So before we even notice Our children will already be grown We’re out here building their tomorrow Praying we don’t lose today, don’t lose it, sorrow There’s always work — it waits, it stays But these small days, they don’t stay, they don’t stay These little hands I’m holding now Won’t stay this small, won’t stay somehow So if they say, “Dad, come and play” The work can wait — it’ll still be there today One day this house will fall quiet One day their spot will sit empty And on that day, I hope my heart can say — “We were here… back when our children were still children.” Let the house stay loud tonight Let the whole world learn to wait Let these simple, fleeting days Live forever in our hearts, and stay There’s always more work to be done But childhood won’t come round again So before we even notice — Our children… will already be grown [Outro – Piano + Solo Violin] Let the world wait… Our children… are growing up…
