IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONGperformed by : Darius Rucker
Lagu ini seakan membuat kita harus menghargai setiap momen-momen indah yang ada dalam hidup ini, karena, momen- momen tersebut tak akan bertahan lama dan akhirnya hanya akan menjadi memori yang pada akhirnya akan terlupakan. Karena lagu ini diciptakan oleh seorang ayah dan suami, lagu ini berputar pada masalah anak dan setiap cerita yang ada pada setiap masanya. Cerita dan momen-momen itu berhasil tertuang dalam untaian lagu Country yang luar biasa menyentuh dengan penghayatan Darius Rucker yang dalam. One of the best song that i've ever heard...
Lirik :
He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"
"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"
Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"
"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"
Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil,
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows
It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long
