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
