Looking out my window   See you playing in the leaves   It's amazing how a little girl   Means all the world to me   When I tell you that I love you   I love you more than words can say      Smile, say cheese pretty-please   I wanna take your picture   How'd you ever get so big   I gotta take your picture   Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away      I wish I could save these moments   And put 'em in a jar   I wish I could stop the world from turning   Keep things just the way they are   I wish I could shelter you from everything   Not pure and sweet and good   I know I can't, I know I can't   But I wish I could      When you kiss me for no reason   It goes straight to my heart   When I feel your arms around me   I almost fall apart   It's time for bed you whisper   Daddy, we forgot to pray      I wish I could save these moments   And put 'em in a jar   I wish I could stop the world from turning   Keep things just the way they are   I wish I could shelter you from everything   Not pure and sweet and good   I know I can't, I know I can't   But I wish I could      And when I watch you sleeping   All my worries fade away   A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face      I wish I could save these moments   And put 'em in a jar   I wish I could stop the world from turning   Keep things just the way they are   I wish I could shelter you from everything   Not pure and sweet and good   I know I can't, I know I can't   I know I can't   But I wish I could
