Heartland - Slow Down lyrics

rate me

sixteen candles on a snow white cake

means sixteen years ago today

those eyes just like her mama's said hello world.

daddys lookin' at her like a miracle there

lookin' back on how God answered their prayers.

with those gatta kiss em rosy cheeks and

a head full of midnight curls

thinkin' time sure flew off with my baby girl.

slow down, just a second ago she was taking her first step

holdin' out two little hands sayin' dont let go yet

before its gone, he'd love to throw the brakes on life

right here right now.

and make it slow down.

he thinks back on the walk to the top of a hill

after taking a wrench to those training wheels

countin' to three

sendin' her on her way.

now hes staring a hole through that long haired boy

whos standin' too close to his bundle of joy.

a father in no hurry for his everything to rush away.

he bites his tongue but he really wants to say

slow down, just a second ago she was taking her first step.

holdin' out two little hands sayin' dont let go yet

before its gone, he'd love to throw the brakes on life

right here right now.

make it slow down.

turn this growin up way to fast around,

before its gone he'd love to throw the brakes on life

right here right now.

and make it slow down.
