Stand Still

Stand Still - Hilary Weeks

I've been taking pictures for a long long time

Some are on paper but most are in my mind

Snapshots and memories of the days when you were young

I plan to keep them

Long after you've grown and gone

I remember watching as you took your first step

Seems the clocks been running faster ever since

Every day a little taller

It says so on the wall

The days are passing

And they're not going to stop

And if I could

I would ask time to stand still

So I could hold you a little longer

I'd make the minutes stop

So we would always have today

I won't let the sun go down

Until you know how I feel

I love you so much

I wish time could stand still

Fingerprints all over the sliding glass door

And I can barely see underneath the toys on the floor

I have wished away the sleepless nights

The noise and the messes made

But my heart reminds me

I'm gonna miss these days

So if I could

I would ask time to stand still

So I could hold you a little longer

I'd make the minutes stop

So we would always have today

I won't let the sun go down

Until you know how I feel

I love you so much

I wish time could stand still
