Lyrics

[00:05.100] 16 hour workday just to provide
[00:15.570] Everything for his little tyke
[00:20.600] No time to sing a lullaby
[00:25.299] or give him a piggyback ride
[00:28.790] TV babysitter' toys are a bribe
[00:31.909] as he speeds out the doorway
[00:34.910] and the car leaves the driveway
[00:38.710] The boy runs after his father
[00:41.210] but his steps are too small
[00:43.830] He stretches out his hands to reach him
[00:47.880] as he tumbles and falls.
[00:50.320] Slow down'
[00:54.910] I can’t keep up with you
[01:01.270] You’re getting a little too quick
[01:04.100] for me to follow
[01:06.260] Slow down'
[01:09.189] you’re getting away from me
[01:14.930] and I don’t know how to slow you down
[01:30.970] 60 years together weathering the times
[01:33.530] The good' the bad' the sweetest sighs
[01:36.710] Watching children of their children smile
[01:40.590] as they did when they walked down the aisle
[01:46.390] Walking canes and wheelchairs slowly wind
[01:48.870] Twirling the years' curling their faces
[01:53.810] But now he’s stumbling faster
[01:58.740] towards that finish line
[02:01.740] She stretches out her hands to reach him
[02:06.100] as he closes his eyes
[02:09.219] Slow down'
[02:12.969] I can’t keep up with you
[02:16.959] You’re getting a little too quick
[02:20.899] for me to follow
[02:23.140] Slow down'
[02:25.260] you’re getting away from me
[02:31.799] and I don’t know how to slow you down
[02:39.859] and I don’t know how to slow you down
[02:49.719] and I don’t know how to slow you down
[03:02.829] Slow down'
[03:10.590] I can’t keep up with you
[03:16.179] You’re getting a little too quick
[03:19.359] for me to follow
[03:22.359] Slow down'
[03:24.359] you’re getting away from me
[03:29.219] and I don’t know how to slow you down
