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

Warm modern country ballad with male vocals; gentle acoustic picking and soft piano under intimate verses, brushed kit and subtle pedal steel blooming in the chorus, small stacked harmonies on the hook, final chorus pulls back to near-acoustic for a tender closing moment
