This is such a touching reminder to really enjoy & appreciate the time you have with your children. It seems we blink our eyes & they are growing and changing and on to another phase of life. It's sooo easy to brush them off, send them to watch tv or play by themselves while we do something "more important," but the reality is that the "important" stuff will still be there waiting, but our kids will not. We have precious little time to influence them for Christ -- make it count! Thanks for this.

Our children are 19 and 22. In the blink of an eye, they grew up and left home...enjoy your children in every stage of their lives because it goes so fast. Thank you Wayne for writing this song...it is truly a tribute to all parents in the world today!

Thanks for posting this. I have loved this song for a long time, ever since I first heard it on Delilah's radio show when we lived in Nashville. I had two tiny kids and the song made me cry then. Now I have two teens and a 5th grader, and they are growing bigger by the minutes. What a beautiful, bittersweet song--treasure those kids.

The original song has an instrumental element to it missing here, that complements the song so perfectly.

@bethsbabies Amen to that!

I have always loved this song. I would comment Mr. Watson on the apearrel of his back-up singer. So many times back-ups are dressed in a manner that is less than what a Christian should wear. The purple dress is lovely and is a testament to the character of the lady who is wearing it.

This song reminds me of growing up. I was a child of this era in Christian music. It makes me so sad to think of days gone by and how fast those days went.

@MrMikegriffey When mine were small I used to hate it when older people would tell me, "They grow up too fast!" I would think, "I can't WAIT!" But I loved every bit of it and yes, it did go by too quickly. Now I am that woman who tells young parents, "It goes by too quickly!" My sons didn't draw any ponies, it was airplanes, the one who drew planes is studying to be an aerospace engineer...The other one is a musician.

Just heard this for the first time and I am crying - my sons are now 17 and almost 20 and I miss the little boys that they were...I will always be their Mom but I am not their Mommy any more...the time goes by so quickly you can't believe it, so enjoy them while they are little or medium or big! God bless you Wayne, what a beautiful song.
