Your love
Husband’s lament
Taking my time
Odyssey
What you mean to me
Home
And when you’re older
One for the boys
Classics
Peace of my life
The things that mothers do
Advice to myself
Boomer’s lullaby


 What the song is about
Written for my three young daughters – about the magic of having children and how their growing up reminds you of how quickly time passes.

And when you're older
I will miss the moments
When you slept in my arms
So safe and sure, so tenderly
or babbling sweetly on my knee
making we wonder just how
happily ever after snuck up on me

There will be times when you will
Roll your eyes at your old Dad
The years spread before you
Like a string of pearls
But there will moments
When you'll miss the moments
When your mother and I
would lead you through the world

  Time flies when you're living well
Days go by and you can hardly tell
I look at you and I can measure time
I'm really well on my way

And when I'm older
I will still be crazy
And I hope that you'll bring
your young ones 'round now and then
And who'll be the wiser
if I tell them stories 'bout how
Three little angels came
To this old man

  Time flies when you're living well.
Years go by and you can hardly tell.
I look at you and I can measure time
I'm really well on my way

And when you're older
I'll be just a memory
And I hope that you'll smile
And have some tales to tell
'Cause there will be some who will love you
Just as dearly as I do
But there will be none who will love you
Near as well
