I Wish I Could

[Verse 1]
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 saying 'cheese' and pretty please
I wanna take your picture
How'd you ever get so big?
Now I've gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 and you whisper
'Daddy, we forgot to pray'

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Bridge]
Oh, and when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face

[Chorus]
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
I wish I could
