"Cherish This Moment"

Vs.1:
Go to sleep, my darling baby, rockin on my knee; No need to rush or hurry, take all the time you need;
There's so many responsibilities bidding for my time; But none so urgent, none so precious... as holding you, my child.

Refrain:
Cherish this moment, treasure this day;
Don't be so eager for tomorrow to wish the time away;
'Cause the little ones won't be little for long, they'll be grown and gone away;
So cherish this moment, treasure this day.

Vs. 2:
Daddy, won't you play with me, take a walk or sing me a song;
Hold me close and tell me a story, it won't take very long.
I don't mean to be any trouble, and I know you're busy, too;
But all the love you show to me will be multiplied to you.

(REFRAIN)

Bridge:
One day ten tiny fingers and ten little toes will turn to twenty short years........
May our memories be filled with joy, not regret and bitter tears.

(Refrain)

Ending:
Momma, won't you stay, Daddy, won't you play with me?
Momma, won't you play, Daddy, won't you stay with me? ..... and cherish... this moment.
