I Wish I Could - Lyrics by Collin Raye


Lyrics

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
