Slow Down

Paul Brandt

Here's to you, you were pink or blue
And everything I wanted
Here's to you, never sleeping through
From midnight till the morning
Had to crawl before you walked
Before you ran, before I knew it
You were trying to free your fingers from my hand
'Cause you could do it on your own now, somehow

But slow down
Won't you stay here a minute more
I know you wanna walk through the door
But it's all too fast
Let's make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky
And now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down

Here's to you, every missing tooth
And every bedtime story
Here's to barbie cars, lightsaber wars
And sleeping in on Sunday

Had to crawl before you walked
Before you ran, before I knew it
You were teaching me the only thing love can
Hold hands through it when it's scary
You've got me

Slow down
Won't you stay here a minute more
I know you wanna walk through the door
But it's all too fast
Let's make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky
And now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down

Please don't roll your eyes at me
I know I'm embarrassing
But someday you'll understand
You'll hold a little hand
Ask them if they can...

I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down
Slow down
