"You're gonna miss this, You're gonna want this back...You're gonna wish these days hasn't gone by so fast"

Kaci and Jamie on the way to school!

Today is Kaci's last day of first grade! It is hard to believe- and as much as she is ready for summer (believe me)- she cried this morning on the way to school because she was happy and sad! I told her that it was bittersweet...something that will happen a lot as she grows up! After she got out of the car, You're Gonna Miss This, by Trace Adkins came on. It was the perfect song for that moment. Below are the words - for those of you who don't know it.

YOU'RE GONNA MISS THIS

She was staring out that window, of that SUV

Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18

She said I'll make my own money,

and I'll make my own rules

Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school

Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride

In a one-bedroom apartment,

and her daddy stops by

He tells her It's a nice place

She says It'll do for now

Starts talking about babies and buying a house

Daddy shakes his head and says Baby,

just slow down

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater

Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'

One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'

She keeps apologizin'

He says They don't bother me.

I've got 2 babies of my own.

One's 36, one's 23.

Huh, it's hard to believe, but ...

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These Are Some Good Times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

You're gonna miss this

Yeah, you're gonna miss this
