| Sixteen candles on a snow white cake
|
| Means sixteen years ago today
|
| Those eyes just like her mama’s said hello world
|
| Daddys lookin' at her like a miracle there
|
| Lookin' back on how God answered their prayers
|
| With those gatta kiss em rosy cheeks and
|
| A head full of midnight curls
|
| Thinkin' time sure flew off with my baby girl
|
| Slow down, just a second ago she was taking her first step
|
| Holdin' out two little hands sayin' dont let go yet
|
| Before its gone, he’d love to throw the brakes on life
|
| Right here right now
|
| And make it slow down
|
| He thinks back on the walk to the top of a hill
|
| After taking a wrench to those training wheels
|
| Countin' to three
|
| Sendin' her on her way
|
| Now hes staring a hole through that long haired boy
|
| Whos standin' too close to his bundle of joy
|
| A father in no hurry for his everything to rush away
|
| He bites his tongue but he really wants to say
|
| Slow down, just a second ago she was taking her first step
|
| Holdin' out two little hands sayin' dont let go yet
|
| Before its gone, he’d love to throw the brakes on life
|
| Right here right now
|
| Make it slow down
|
| Turn this growin up way to fast around
|
| Before its gone he’d love to throw the brakes on life
|
| Right here right now
|
| And make it slow down |
