I'm a sap, yes, I know

I love country music...love it. And it often makes me laugh and cry which is part of what I love about it. It's such a "feeling" kind of music!! Here's a new song from Darius Rucker (yes, that would be the front man of Hootie and the Blowfish) that is just too, too perfect for my life right now:

It Won't Be Like This for Long

He didnt have to wake up
He’d been up all nite
Lay’n there in bed listen’n
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we’ll look back laugh’n
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She’s crawling in there bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She’s clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now dont you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we’ll drop her off
And she wont even know your gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on

It wont be like this for long
Soon she’ll be a teenager
And at times you’ll think she hates him
Then he’ll walk her down the isle
And he’ll raise her vale

But right now she up and cry’n
And the truth is that he dont mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watch’n her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows

It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He’s try’n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long.

Absolutely love that song, and I cried the first time I heard it! Did I ever tell you I lived in the same apartment complex as Darius Rucker when I lived in L.A.? He gave me a ride in his convertible once.

Not a sap! Also love that song! and country is the greatest! So many people just don't give it a chance, it's not like it used to be! I guess it has a bad rap.
