Darius Rucker - It Won't Be Like This For Long (Official Video)

[@lanatrapp1589]

No truer words have been spoken. Time flies by. Wayyyyy to fast.

[@Samimama92]

This was the song I danced to with my dad at my wedding. I cried then, and since losing him two years ago right before my 30th birthday, I cry even more. Miss you Dad ❤

[@realitywithzee16]

10 years ago I was a tired, overwhelmed mom to a 6 month old; Oprah interviewed this man and he sang this song on the show. It has litteraly shaped the way I parent and made me focus on the blessing and wonder of parenting. Im now a mom of 3 and come here to listen every now and then for a recharge. Thank you Mr Rucker❤

I'm a single Dad raising 2 daughters for the last 14 years and this song is completely true. Live every day like it's a gift because it is!

[@CadeAustinMedia]

I'm a dad of two girls myself, 9 and 2. I've got my wife's help, but I was a single father at one point in time, so I understand. Man, time flies too fast. I am/have been a lot of things in this life, but "Daddy" is the greatest of all. Having kids is truly the one thing in this world that actually lives up to the hype. Wish nothing but the best for you and yours, brother.

I lost my dad to cancer on July 26, 2010. This song brought back a lot of pleasant memories of me and my dad. I think that this song gives an excellent message of how fast life goes by and how precious life is. This song is really great!

[@galaxytraveler546]

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

I have a 7 year old daughter and this song brings a tear to my eye every time. 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.

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.

This song is beautiful, I thank god for creating the beauty that is music. So I can feel the powerful emotions it brings to me, and the great joy it shares with my soul.

[@410ytlmustang]

That's the problem with today's society. All it needs is a dope beat and no substance and everyone goes bat crap crazy. (People are dumb) This is real music, in which idiots no nothing about.

[@nicka2702]

410ytlmustang Every genre has good music you'd be ignorant to think otherwise. As the listeners it's our job to discover songs that make us feel a certain way and people can find that in any music, doesn't mean it's good or bad. That is the true beauty of music, it's opinionated and special to individuals.

[@jeremy52048]

As a mexican, i feel kind of weird listening to this music. But I'm a rice farmer, and this music is what really moves you being out on the farm for 10-12 hours a day.

[@Lordbitness]

The music that gets the hate is the "bro country" that has been comin out the only singers I know that make songs like this are Cheney Darius and Jackson and I don't even think Jackson is working anymore

[@gregorylagrange]

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. Darius Rucker is one of the top song writers out their, but people like what they're going to like.

[@rossboyd2272]

My first time hearing it , wow great singer and the song , yeah I’m now 64 and it didn’t take long they were gone . The nest is empty and grand babies 🙂 God is good !!!

[@andrewbenavidez5764]

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. ❤️

[@zachiarykuper8968]

I seen daricus live in canfield Ohio . I never seen a artist get so compassionate about his music. He sat on the stage and cried and sang this with all his heart. What a powerful moment! Brought a grown man to tears! Especially having a young daughter 1 and one on the way! Your music is beautiful sir! Glad I got to experience thr joy with my friends and family 👪

[@iCeleste7]

I can never listen to this song without crying.

[@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!!

[@etedali]

I'll always remember listening to this song on the way home after my daughter's birth. The lyrics resonate with me 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

[@JasFaith]

Love this song. Still listening

[@ashleyrenee2542]

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.

[@Joeosteenofficial]

Hi dear, I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your comment and was moved to send a text to you hope you don't find it pestering..?

[@Alyhum1112]

I never understood this song until I became a parent myself.. currently crying my eyes out.

[@clairesolesbury2656]

I think of my god daughter when i hear this song. Just turned 2 and already been through so much (10 brain surgerys and 4 abdomanal) shes really defying all odds. I sing thisnto my best friend everytime she feels low. I love this song. Update. Sep 2021. Little girl is still bad, now been diagnosed with epilepsy and needs 2 major surgeries and seizes a lot (just turned 3 in august). Also my best friend felll pregnant and gave birth at 21weeks. Bubbas tiny, ups and downs but fighting hard...this song hits me more and more everytime i hear it. 😭 But im a proud god-mummy/auntie to 3 beautiful girls. X

[@ramshacklefarm9957]

Why the hell are there so many dislikes???!!! Darius this song is amazing and I'd love this to play at my daughter's wedding one day

[@marieclark4609]

That's so true won't be like this for long before you know it they're grown it's hard for me to believe my daughter just turned 32 years old

[@Realsteviewonder]

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

[@zekeronenine]

Having my daughter born with Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula at birth, spending her first 40 days in the hospital, requiring a Tracheopexy at 7 months, a third of her first year of life in a hospital, and being diagnosed with mild Autism before she was 2.5; this song caught me off guard one morning at work and I shut my door and just bawled for about 30 minutes. This kid doesn't give up, she just trucks along.

[@jg1007]

No idea what is going with you 2 years after your comment. But let me tell you my wife and I fostered and adopted two girls. There were many days we had no idea what the future held for us. Our daughters could have gone back to their bio family at any moment. I had to learn to lean on the Lord, and not on myself. It was hard, but when you don't know how you will go on, God will carry you. May God bless you and your family, and may He give you the strength to go on even when you don't know how.

[@theclairebaire]

Miscarried in September. I wonder what it would have felt like to have this kind of love for my angel

[@brokensmile43]

Found this song in 2023. I'm a mother of gorgeous brilliant 8month son. Listening this song and my heart stops beating, how fast they're growing up. Thanks for this song! Hello from Russia🇷🇺

[@trinitrin3798]

This song just makes me cry before it even starts . It definitely hits my heart . This is a Angel's voice to my ears !! I wanna sing this song with my little girl and save the video and play it at her sweet 16 in 9 years . Love ya Darius !!!

[@dalasmommy5246]

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.

[@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 ❤️

[@treykanipe1871]

I use to listen to this with my grandma when she got cancer right after my grandpa died the day after my birthday last year. she began to get treatment and went through so much pain, all the while she developed Alzheimer's and finally died last Christmas on Christmas day.they were married for 49 years and died 6 moths and 1 day apart. this song hits me so hard but it means so much. Rest in peace Mawmaw and Pawpaw

[@paulgiacovelli9754]
