Trace Adkins Song: You’re Gonna Miss This
Every once in a while, a song with a powerful message for us dads comes along.
Trace Adkins recorded the song “You’re Gonna Miss This” that spent a lot of time at #1 on the charts for good reason.
Maybe you’ve heard it?
It’s a message reminding us parents how quickly our children grow up, and how soon we’re going to miss them and all those moments when they were young.
My wife and I both got blurry eyes the first time we heard this song.
The lyrics to the chorus are:
You’re gonna miss this.
You’re gonna want this back.
You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast.
These are some good times,
So take a good look around.
You may not know it now,
but you’re gonna miss this.
Below is official music video with Trace Adkins. It’s a great song to listen to again and again — like on one of those days when being a parent isn’t, shall we say, so much fun.

Not a country fan, but great reminder for us to cherish our every moment with our children… and for them to cherish their time with mom’s and dad’s as well.
This song by Trace really did hit home today. As it was a wonderful day, that I was not taking the time to enjoy. Take time to stop and smell the rose’s in life, was what my mother used to say.Thanks for the reminder and keep up the work that God has given you.

I like this song. Thank you for sharing it.
The Lord uses an infinite number of ways to remind us of His presence, but for me, using family relationships communicates His love like no other.
