Slow Down

This video made me cry. :(  My darling Lia, please slow down.

SLOW DOWN

by Nichole Nordeman

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

Slow down 

Won’t you stay here a minute more 

I know you want to 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 

Every bedtime story 

Here’s to Barbie, cars, light saber, wars 

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 want to 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

I love you, Lia.
