When You're My Age (feat. Hillary Lindsey & Liz Rose)

When youre my age
I hope the world is kinder than it seems to be right now
And I hope the front page isnt just a reminder
Of how we keep letting each other down
When I was your age, things didnt seem to be this hard
Riding bikes out on the street, playing tag in the back yard
Youll outgrow your shoes
Youll outgrow your bed
Youll outgrow this house
Just dont forget
When youre all grown up
But you dont feel that way
Youre still gonna be my baby
Even when youre my age
When youre my age
Youll still be full of questions that I wish I had the answers to right now
Those dark times might make you second guess it
But I bet love will still be making the world go round
When I was your age, I didnt worry like I think you do
Back then innocence was something you could hold onto
Youll outgrow your shoes
Youll outgrow your bed
Youll outgrow this house
Just dont forget
When youre all grown up
But you dont feel that way
Youre still gonna be my baby
Even when youre my age
When you have kids someday, I hope you teach them the Lords Prayer
Before they go to bed at night
Like my daddy did for me and his mother before him
Well something about it just keeps you right
And I hope you dont work too much overtime
So you can be right there beside them when they close their little eyes
Cause theyll outgrow their shoes
Theyll outgrow their beds
Theyll outgrow that house
And you cant stop it
Life will line your face
Time will turn the page
But theyre still gonna be your babies
Just like youre still gonna be my baby
Even when youre my age
Even when youre my age
