Looking out my window, I 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? Oh I gotta take your picture,
And 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.
(These are the lyrics to a song sung by Colin Raye, "I Wish I Could".)
