It Won’t Be Like This for Long Lyrics

Learn Darius Rucker lyrics for “It Won’t be Like This for Long” from the debut Darius Rucker album Learn to Live.

It Won’t Be Like This Lyrics:
He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"

It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long

Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"

It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long

Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil,

But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows

It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on

‘Cause it won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long

It Won’t Be Like This: Debut
Due to the Country/Blues nature of hit band Hootie and the Blowfish, it was only natural for Darius Rucker to look to Country music after Hootie came to an end. A talented songwriter, Darius Rucker went to work on his debut Country album Learn to Live in 2008. The finely crafted lyrics and the pure vocal talent of Darius Rucker made Learn to Live a very strong debut. Single “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” made history as the first No. 1 Country single by an African-American in over 20 years. Fans with Darius Rucker tickets hoped another strong single would follow.

It Won’t Be Like This: Single
“It Won’t Be Like This for Long” followed in late 2008 and met the expectations set by “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It”.

A second great single also helped dispel the doubts that some Country fans had about Darius Rucker switching music genres.
