I Wish I Could

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 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 'nd 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 But I wish I could
