The verse reads: 

From the moment you hold your baby in your arms, 
You will never be the same. 
You might long for the person you were before,
When you had freedom and time 
And nothing in particular to worry about 

Days will run into days that are exactly the same 
Full of feedings and burping 
Nappy changes and crying 
Whining and fighting 
Naps or a lack of naps 
It might seem like a never-ending cycle 

But don't forget... 

There is a last time for everything 
There will come a time when you will feed your baby for the very last time 
They will fall asleep on you after a long day 
And it will be the last time you ever hold your sleeping child 

One day you will carry them on your hip then set them down 
And never pick them up that way again 
You will scrub their hair in the bath for one last time 
And from that day on they will want to bathe alone 

They will hold your hand to cross the road 
Then will never reach for it again 
They will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles 
And it will be the last night you ever wake to this 

One afternoon you will sing "the wheels on the bus" and do all the actions 
Then never sing them that song again 

They will kiss you goodbye at the school gate 
The next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone 

You will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face 
They will run to you with arms raised for the very last time. 

The thing is, you won't even know it's the last time 
Until there are no more times. And even then, it will take you a while to realise. 

So while you are living in these times, remember there are only so many of them and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them. 
For one last time.
