C G D
There is excitement in the air of that hospital waiting room
C G D
It's been nine whole months already and now they're finally due
C G
And the friends and the families are laughing out loud
D
Cause this is the day they've all talked about
C G D
But in the commotion the nurse grabbed her hand and said
[Chorus 1]
C G D
Slow down honey, 'cause it's kinda funny, just how fast time goes
C G
Right now you're crying, but soon you'll be laughing
D
About the week you brought her home
C G D
Oh the days they take so long, but the years fly by so fast
C G D
And the momma slowly shook her head and said
C G D
How can it be time already
C G D
How can it be time already to go
[Verse 2]
C G D
Well a couple short years later, they were driving down the road
C G D
Another first day back at school, making memories of her own
C
She had her backpack and books
G D
That's all that it took to get tears in her momma's eyes
C G
And she wondered where all the time had gone
D
When her little girl waved goodbye
[Chorus 2]
C
She prayed, slow down honey 'cause
G D
It's kinda funny just how fast time goes
C G
I swore me and her daddy were just laughing
D
About the week we brought her home
C G D
Oh the days they take so long, but the years fly by so fast
C G D
And the momma slowly shook her head and said
C G D
How can it be time already
C G D
How can it be time already to go
[Bridge]
C G D
Wo, oh oh oh oh oh oh
C G D
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 3]
N.C. C G
Yesterday I was looking through pictures
D
When I found some of my mom
C G D
She was in a college sweatshirt, finally living on her own
C G D
Then I pointed at the picture and said that will be me soon
C G D
And my momma grabbed my hand and whispered, "I love you"
[Outro]
C
But she said slow down honey
G D
Cause it's kinda funny just how fast time goes
C G
Me and your daddy were just laughing
D
About the week we brought you home
C G D
Oh the days they take so long, but the years fly by so fast
C G D
Oh I hope you make the best of what you get
C G D
Cause soon it will be time already
C G D
How can it be time already to go? Hey, hey
C G D
I swear we just brought you home
C G D
So how can it be time already to go? Oe oe
