IT wont be like this for long

He didn't have to wake up
他不必醒來
He'd been up all nite
因為他整夜沒睡
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
躺在床上聽著
To his new born baby cry
他的新生嬰兒的哭叫
He makes a pot of coffee
他煮了一壺咖啡
He splashes water on his face
他把水潑濺到他的臉上
His wife gives him a kiss and says
他妻子給他一個吻並說
It's gonna be OK
這沒事的

這不會持續很久
It won't be like this for long
不久的將來我們回首往事會開心大笑
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
在我們帶她回家的那個星期
At the week we brought her home
這個階段很快會過去
This phase is gonna fly by
所以寶貝只要堅持住
So baby just hold on
這種情況不會持續很長
It won't be like this for long
四年後的四點半

她在床上爬來爬去
Four years later bout four thirty
當他把她送到幼兒園的時候
She's crawling in there bed
她緊緊抱住他的腿
And when he drops her off at preschool
老師把她從他身上抱走
She's clinging to his leg
他說我能做什麼
The teacher peels her off of him
她說現在你不用擔心
He says what can I do
這只要過一兩個星期就好了
She says now don't you worry
這不會持續太久
This will only last a week or two
不久的一天你會送她過來

而她甚至不知道你離開
It won't be like this for long
這個階段很快過去
One day soon you'll drop her off
如果你能堅持住
And she won't even know your gone
這不會持續很久
This phase is gonna fly by
不久的某一天她會成長為青少年
If you can just hold on
有時候你會認為她會恨你
It won't be like this for long
然後他會帶她到島上

他會把她養大
Some day soon she'll be a teenager
現在她不睡哭鬧
And at times you'll think she hates him
事實上他不在乎
Then he'll walk her down the isle
他給她晚安吻
And he'll raise her vale
她祈禱
But right now she up and cry'n
他躺在她的旁邊
And the truth is that he don't mind
直到她最後睡著
As he kisses her good night
光看著她就讓他心碎
And she says her prayers
因為他已經知道了

這種情況不會持續很久
He lays down there beside her
不久的將來那個小女孩會
Till her eyes are finally closed
完全長大成人然後離開
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
是的這個階段很快過去
Cause he already knows
他努力堅持住
It won't be like this for long
這種情況不會持續很久
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
這種情況不會持續很久
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's try'n to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long
