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