Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tiny boots by the back door

Now it’s sneakers by the bed

Used to braid your morning tangles

Now you curl your own instead

Pink crowns on the fridge art

Turned to homework on the floor

I blinked once

You learned to whisper

Blink again

You’re asking for the keys to the door

[Chorus]

Slow down

Sweet girls

Daddy’s heart can’t catch its breath

You’re dancing through my yesterday

Running toward the rest

I’ll cheer for every sunrise

But I miss those midnight curls

So slow down

Slow down

Sweet girls

[Verse 2]

Tea parties at the table

Plastic rings and chocolate milk

Now it’s mascara in my bathroom

Brand-new jeans

A grown-up quilt

You roll your eyes when I’m waving

From the bleachers in the cold

But you still reach for my shoulder

When the world feels a little too bold

[Chorus]

Slow down

Sweet girls

Daddy’s heart can’t catch its breath

You’re dancing through my yesterday

Running toward the rest

I’ll cheer for every sunrise

But I miss those midnight curls

So slow down

Slow down

Sweet girls

[Bridge]

One day you’ll drive out this driveway

With your boxes and your plans (oh)

I’ll be standing in the gravel

Trying hard to let you land

But any time it all feels heavy

And this big world starts to spin

You can always come back home

Kick your shoes off

Crawl right in

[Chorus]

Slow down

Sweet girls

Daddy’s heart will save your place

From your first day in the classroom

To that veil across your face

I’ll be here for every moment

Every heartbreak

Every swirl

So slow down

Slow down

Sweet girls

Just a little

Slow down

Sweet girls
