Wish if I could say that.
I love this song my total fave
This freaked me out This isn't fake. Apparently, if you copy and paste this on ten comments in the next ten minutes, you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain you will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I'm sorry This freaked me out This isn't fake. This freaked me out This isn't fake.

This freaked me out this isn't fake. Apparently if you copy and put this on 10 comments in 10 minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out. If you break this chain you will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minutes someone will say sorry or I love you

This is the first song that I have heard by Darius and he is really good!!! I love this song!
As a father of a single, beautiful 5 year old, I can identify completely with this song... This song is so sad because it is true.
HAHA
I have always loved Darius, and just thought to myself for the first time after years, he sounds like hootie. Took me long enough..
sad song for little girls
great song

WHAT A VOICE

Darius, As a dad, thank you for this song! You can easily exchange the song's main theme with a son or sons! They don't stay little for long, not long at all or long enough. Remember this, and the rough times take on a whole different character! I love my boys (with a tear)!
A beautiful song
My Fav Song... Got a 2 yr old and so not ready for my baby to go to school
I LOVE this song its just beautiful!!

This song makes me cry. It's beautiful.

Hey CHICK CROSS, it is a great song. F**K YOUR MOUTH!!! Nobody is crying but you. Even Hootie is hearing YOU cry. Side note, "keep killing it Darius"

Great song, but why do so many of his songs involve crying. Even the Hootie songs? Ease up on the crying will ya.
it was a sweet time for my girls. Well sung Darius
My daughter is 8 and this song really spoke to me. Used to love Hootie and the Blowfish when they first came out. Glad to get reacquainted with Darius Rucker - thank you Pandora!
You gotta love Darius Rucker no matter what he sings!
Great song it's so true. They grow up way to fast.
LOVE this song !!! Always makes me cry !!
