Moments Like These

There's a five year old smiling at me
In a mermaid dress and no front teeth
Got her mom's high heels on, chocolate on her face
Dancing around like she owns the place

She makes me smile, but it makes me sad
To know I can't get these moments back

My oldest child, she likes the rules
Yeah, boundary lines make her feel secure
She's eight years old going on nineteen
Taking care of her sister and her mom and me

She makes me smile, but it makes me sad
To know I can't get these moments back

So I am down on my knees help me soak it all in
I want all of this life that you let me live
And when time flies by, oh remind me to breathe
'Cause my heaven on earth are moments like these

My middle child that I am so proud of
Crawls in my lap for a squeeze hug
She likes dressing up, she loves ballet
When she talks to God, I learn how to pray

She makes me smile, but it makes me sad
To know I can't get these moments back

So I am down on my knees help me soak it all in
I want all of this life that you let me live
And when time flies by, oh remind me to breathe
'Cause my heaven on earth are moments like these

I've got a little girl in heaven right now
Those streets of gold, her playground
The two hours she lived was enough to fall in love
She's the sweetest thing I ever let go of

So I am down on my knees help me soak it all in
I want all of this life that you let me live
And when time flies by, oh remind me to breathe
'Cause my heaven on earth are moments like these

I am down on my knees help me soak it all in
I want all of this life that you let me live
And when time flies by, oh remind me to breathe
'Cause my heaven on earth are moments like these
My heaven on earth are moments like these
