(Verse 1)

My son was squirming in his high chair
My daughter had mashed potatoes in her hair

Just had to come over and tell you that
These right here are the golden years
(Chorus)
The first steps when they stumble, first words that they mumble
First ball that they fumble, and they try to hide the tears
Her Cinderella palace, the bike he learns to balance

Will be wearing mascara and talkin' on the phone
And all the little boys won't leave her alone
And you'll look back here, these golden years

Right now you don't know it but someday you'll look back at the
