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
