Discover the story of the song > It Won’t Be Like This For Long – Darius Rucker

The song is about a man who is experiencing different phases of his daughter's life. At first, he is awake all night with his newborn, but his wife reassures him it won't last long. Later, he is dropping her off at preschool and dealing with her clinginess. He knows she will soon be a teenager and then eventually all grown up and gone, so he cherishes every moment and tries to hold on tight to each phase because he knows it won't last forever.
