Slow Down
(Written by Corrinne May Ying Foo)
16 hour workday just to provide
Every thing for his little tyke
No time to sing a lullaby or give him a piggyback ride
TV babysitter toys are a bribe as he speeds out the doorway
And the car leaves the driveway
The boy runs after his father but his steps are too small
He stretchs out his hands to reach him as he tumbles and falls
Slow down. I can't keep up with you.
You're getting a little too quick for me to follow.
Slow down, you're getting away from me
And I don't know how to slow you dowm.
60 years together weathering the times
The good, the bad, the sweetest sighs
Watching children of their children smile
As they did when they walked down the aisle
Walking canes and wheelchairs slowly wind
Twirling the years, curling their faces
But now he's stumbling faster. towards that finish line
She stretches out her hands to hold him as he closes his eyes
Slow down. I can't keep up with you.
You're getting a little too quick for me to follow.
Slow down, you're getting away from me
And I don't know how to slow you dowm.
