Days go slowly from your point of view
Still they go faster than I'd like
You can't wait to run to all the things your going to do
I just want to hold on to tonight
Can we read a little more...

So let's plunge into the forest with Bilbo and the boys
Let's deal with the dragons and play with all your toys
Let's make cool sounds as we swing our sticks around
Let's laugh and let's wrestle and let's wear each day out

You've got dreams for all the things you're going to do
Me, I've got memories to hold
You can't wait to grow up and run right out my door
Today you turned just seven years old
Can we play a little more...

So let's plunge into the forest with Bilbo and the boys
Let's deal with the dragons and play with all your toys
Let's make cool sounds as we swing our sticks around
Let's laugh and let's wrestle and let's wear each day out

The snow won't always be this good for packing
So let's go outside and have a romp
You won't always be this young and want to spend the day with me
And I don't want to miss it, I don't want to miss...

So let's plunge into the forest with Bilbo and the boys
Let's deal with the dragons and play with all your toys
Let's make cool sounds as we swing our sticks around
Let's laugh and let's wrestle and let's wear each day out
