I will be dancing to this song with my oldest daughter at her wedding this Saturday. I’m crying already. It wasn’t like this for long. Life is Short. Get right with the Lord everyone.

June 12, 2 days after my daughter was born. I was taken care of her alone, no mother around! I heard this amazing song. It help me so much. Single father with a 2day old baby girl. She is now 10, and I'm still watching her grow. Thank you darius for this song!

I feel you there this song is so had to listen to without crying especially since IV got kids that ages match the first 2 verses (3 weeks and 3 years old) and I live in separate houses from both of their dads, I have the older one pretty much every night by myself and have to take him to preschool in the morning and the little one every night except when we stay over night at her dads so im up all night pretty much every night

Every day she asks me if my day is complete and I say no... then she gives me a big hug and kiss and says "now I made your day complete". It's the highlight of my day! I'm so scared that this will end, and some day it will. I just hope and pray that I can raise her well enough that she doesn't hate me and always knows that she will always be my baby girl. Regardless, great song. I'm a big fan of Rucker's.

I see most of the comments are parents, but I’m just 2 months shy of 21, single and child-free, and this song just evokes something for me. The “it won’t be like this for long. This phase is gonna fly by, if you can just to hold on” as he sings through the stages of adolescence lays comfort on my spirit as I keep finding myself facing low lows from childhood up to now. I’ve only been in this Earth for 2 decades, yet I already feel so very exhausted from the moments I’ve had navigate through for the past 13 years. But I look forward to the day where I have some inner peace, so I’m gonna continue to hold on. Thank you for this song

It's always been a good song from the start, and it's going to be one of those songs that's good until people forget what music is really about. I'm a father that when I think about my daughter growing up, all I want is the best for her, for her to achieve everything she wants and more, and I would die a million times just to see her grow up happy. And I know I'm not unlike other Fathers out there, but there is nothing like a daughter's smile, and I'll always feel there is something more I can do.

The sleepless nights and constant attention can be strict, but this song is a beautiful reminder that these moments are fleeting, and I should cherish every second. Thank you, Darius, for perfectly capturing the rollercoaster of emotions of being a parent. "It Won't Be Like This For Long" is a constant reminder to hold onto these precious memories

I was a soldier once upon a time. I was an infantryman and spent 24 months in Iraq and Afghanistan in Frontline combat operations before I turned 21. I came home to a beautiful baby girl after my last deployment but the mother had left. I raised her with everything I had. But I always struggled with what the wars left me with. I drowned every day out with alcohol for a decade. I was there, but I was absent. I cry when I listen to this because I missed a lot of those moments because I was so lost. Today, I told my daughter I'm sorry for everything, and she told me it was okay. I asked her why she said it's okay when its not. She said because she forgives me. I told her she was a very strong and very special person to be able to do that. I told her she has such a big heart and to never lose sight of that. She told me she has a big heart because of me. I'm crying relentlessly. Kids are so special and have the purest of hearts. Treasure them. ❤️

I like many different kinds of music. But country fans are the quickest to express their dismay of how people don't like country while either simultaneously or right after expressing their contempt and dismay of people liking any other type of music.

My twin baby girls were born micro preemies at 24 weeks, and are in the nicu for at least the next 90 days. And I just cant stop playing this song and crying. I used to listen when my son was born 4 yrs ago and cry too, but knowing the nightmare we are suffering now wont be like this for long, gives me hope and I don't think Darius understands what this song means to me right now. Hang in there my little fighter girls, it wont be like this for long!!

[@alika207]

I was a preemie also, and I was born blind. How are you and your family making out? You may always reach out if you would like advice, especially if they have been diagnosed with disabilities.

[@mitchdaniels413]

After all of this time listening to this song, I still can't get though it with a dry eye. I have two grown daughters and I immediately go back to when they were little when I hear this song. Thank you Darius!

[@amberleonard5127]

Same, the only difference is right at the moment I have 1 that matches the 1st verse and 1 that matches the 2nd verse (3 weeks and 3 years) and right now what makes it even harder to not tear up is in finally got the 3 week old to stop crying and she is currently asleep on my chest

[@ryanvega4196]

amazing. makes me shed a few tears every time.

[@ardenconcepcion5409]

Stay safe everyone it wont be like this for long life will change share the wealth help each other x

[@nhlakeskier8878]

My daughter just turned 18. This song has been my life since the day she was born and I first held her in the hospital. We looked at each other and right then I promised her I would take care of her forever. Not many things in this world make me cry, but I whenever I listen to this song I absolutely break down. Right down to my little Emma holding onto my leg and not letting go her first day of school. I cried when I got in my truck, and there's been endless times when the incredible love and sentimentality I feel makes the tears start again. This song hits me very hard - it seems every verse, every word was written for me. It's exactly how I've felt and what I've experienced. It's unbelievable...thank you Darius for reminding me what really matters in life by writing such a beautiful song about a father's love for his daughter.

[@lindajudd7647]

I listening to this song when my son was born 4 years ago in just a couple of days. I didn’t believe him and this song is nothing but true. I’m listening to it again with my sons little brother and as rough as it is, I’m trying to hold on to him being so tiny and new. He’s 3 weeks old. This song has helped so much.

My daughter 2 months old as a single dad this song gets me through so much

[@Army4Runner]

My little girl is 3 months old in a week. I’m a combat veteran and an LEO; been through a lot. This song brings tears to my eyes. I’d do anything for my little cupcake.

[@sabrinalenz8842]

I’m 30 weeks pregnant with a little boy. Listening to this song makes me cry everytime. I can’t wait to meet him.

[@Solemnbarrymanilow]

Hey there! How are you today? It’s nice to meet you on here.

[@nancyhodges4927]

I went to his concert in Cincinnati this week. I only listen to oldies so I hadn't heard it before. My husband died 6 months ago. Our daughter had him wrapped around her finger. So many photos of her grabbing his leg or on clinging to his back, even brushing his hair(bald head!). I just bawled during the whole song. This would have been their song.

[@Zachtop3]

Thank you 😊 @Nancy ❤️

[@Solemnbarrymanilow]

Hello there! How are you today? It’s nice to meet you here.

[@thenextnewsnetwork1237]

That moment you aren't thinking of anything, you have a clear mind, no stress, no opinion, just listening to this awesome song

[@carriesullivan9500]

I have listened to music all my life. Have sung since a baby and played a few different instruments. I know some people just like one style of music, but I really love so many different styles and artists. This song is absolutely beautiful, amazing and so true. Due to many life long chronic conditions, I was told I would never be able to conceive, last year a miracle happened a gave birth to a beautiful baby. This song is filled with so much emotion, so much truth and the words are so fitting. This song fills my heart with so much happiness and love. At times when I have felt I could not cope due to lack of sleep or when bubs is crying due a new tooth trying to come through. I listen to this song on repeat and now even if I’m up all night and day and I’m up with a very irritable, teary little one. I now even treasure these moments more than I did before. Sorry for such a long comment this song is just so fitting. Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it ❤️

[@chan12898]

One of the most beautiful and touching songs ever written. My fiancé is dancing with her father to this song at our wedding. Thank you Mr. Rucker for creating this!!

O man do I hate this song. But I mean that in a good way. Can't listen to it at work. My daughter is 17, graduating HS, will be going to college, and I was just divorced. So this really hits home.

[@lopezdevin79]

Yeah i have a lump in my throat. Listening to it now. I miss my dad. He loved this song. He used to sing it to me when i was doing chemo at 16.
