about

About how fast time passes. How quick kids grow up.

lyrics

when we first brought you home you needed everything
we kept you safe and warm from any harm that the world might bring
we spent almost every night watching you fall asleep
your mother would read to you - it worked better than counting sheep

now you're almost all grown up
and i feel you slipping away
you don't hold my hand
when you cross the streeet
and baby thats ok
Soon you'll be out on your own
to stand on your own feet
sometimes i wish
that you still needed me

I remember when you were three we would go explore
on russian submarine or maybe a seaplane tour
we'd make funny videos or even write a song
and even then deep down i knew that it wouldn't be too long


before you're almost all grown up
and i feel you slipping away
you don't hold my hand
when you cross the street
and baby thats ok
Soon you'll head out on your own
to stand on your own feet
sometimes i wish
that you still needed me

you've grown up to a young lady right before my eyes
and someday you may have your own family yeah, I realize
It only seems like yesterday we were having fun at the beach
or i'd lift you on my shoulders to get something you couldn't reach

but now you're almost all grown up
and i feel you slipping away
you don't take my hand
when you cross the street
and baby thats ok
Soon you'll head out on your own
to stand on your own feet
sometimes i wish
that you still needed me
