Collin Raye I Wish I Could 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, oh 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
