Grow up Slow
by Scotty Inman

Album: Grow up Slow - Single

She's sitting at the mirror
Putting mama's makeup on
Oh, she's only seven
She thinks she's twenty-one
She looks up at me
And say, "Do I look pretty?"
And fighting back the tears, I say, "Yes"
What happened to my baby?

If only she knew just the way I feel
If only I could make the time stand still

Grow up slow
Honey, you don't know
'Bout a world outside
That can be so unkind
When you're out there on your own
Take your time
No, I don't mind
'Cause the hours move fast
And the days never last
And my heart already knows
That I'll have to let you go
Grow up slow

He can hardly see me
Looking through my high school helmet
Said, "I look just like you", hey
"Go long, dad, try to catch it"
Five years I've been watching
This little boy turn into me
And I hope I'm the kind of man
I'd be proud for him to be

If he only knew just the way I feel
If only I could make the time stand still

Grow up slow
Buddy, you don't know
'Bout a world outside
That can be so unkind
When you're out there on your own
Take your time
No, I don't mind
'Cause the hours move fast
And the days never last
And my heart already knows
That I'll have to let you go
Grow up slow

I know one day you'll spread your wings
And soar wild and free
But you'll always be that little girl and boy
To your mom and me

If only she knew just the way I feel
If only I could make the time stand still

Grow up slow
You don't know
'Bout a world outside
That could be so unkind
When you're out there on your own
Take your time
No, I don't mind
'Cause the hours move fast
And the days never last
And my heart already knows
That I'll have to let your go
Grow up slow
