Slow Down
By Jenna Strong
Today I thought about, 20 years from now
Me mid 40’s you in your 50’s
It can all happen in the blink of an eye
Feels like yesterday we wed. We were just two kids
Now we’re three a big happy family
Before you know it our three could be five
Chorus:
Slow down with me a while
Slow dance with me again
If I can’t stop the time then help me to remember when
And slow dance with me again
Today I showed you how, to drive the car in town
I said slow down, it’s too fast, let’s turn around
It’s all just happening in the blink of an eye
Wasn’t it last week that you were only nine
Looks like you finally found out what love is all about
She says I do you lift the veil in front of you
Hold on son don’t let this moment pass you by
Before you know it you’ll be asking her why don’t you
Slow down with me a while
Why don’t you slow dance with me again
If I can’t stop the time then help me to remember when
And slow dance with me
Well I hope we taught you how to live life in the now
To take time to see all of God’s beauty
Trust me son, I know it’s like a flash before your eyes
But we can’t wait to hold you on the other side
Yes, it’s gonna happen in the blink of an eye
But the good lord will be waiting and he’ll ask you
