Collin Raye - I Wish I Could lyrics

rate me

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
