There is excitement in the air of that hospital waiting room

          C                   G         D
It's been nine whole months already and now they're finally due

          C                          G
And the friends and the families are laughing out loud

      D
Cause this is the day they've all talked about

    C                    G                          D
But in the commotion the nurse grabbed her hand and said


[Chorus 1]

C                             G                D
Slow down honey, 'cause it's kinda funny, just how fast time goes

C                             G
Right now you're crying, but soon you'll be laughing

          D
About the week you brought her home

        C                G             D
Oh the days they take so long, but the years fly by so fast

        C             G                 D
And the momma slowly shook her head and said

              C            G  D
How can it be time already

              C               G   D
How can it be time already to go


[Verse 2]

           C               G               D
Well a couple short years later, they were driving down the road

  C               G               D
Another first day back at school, making memories of her own

            C
She had her backpack and books

       G                       D
That's all that it took to get tears in her momma's eyes

        C                      G
And she wondered where all the time had gone

          D
When her little girl waved goodbye


[Chorus 2]

             C
She prayed, slow down honey 'cause

G                     D
It's kinda funny just how fast time goes

        C                G
I swore me and her daddy were just laughing

          D
About the week we brought her home

       C                 G              D
Oh the days they take so long, but the years fly by so fast

        C             G                 D
And the momma slowly shook her head and said

              C            G  D
How can it be time already

              C               G   D
How can it be time already to go


[Bridge]

C   G        D
Wo, oh oh oh oh oh oh

C      G        D
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh


[Verse 3]
N.C.  C                         G
Yesterday I was looking through pictures

       D
When I found some of my mom

        C            G                   D
She was in a college sweatshirt, finally living on her own

       C             G                 D
Then I pointed at the picture and said that will be me soon

       C                G                    D
And my momma grabbed my hand and whispered, "I love you"

But she said slow down honey

       G                    D
Cause it's kinda funny just how fast time goes

C                 G
Me and your daddy were just laughing

          D
About the week we brought you home

       C                 G             D
Oh the days they take so long, but the years fly by so fast

     C                 G                D
Oh I hope you make the best of what you get

                      C           G  D
Cause soon it will be time already

              C               G         D
How can it be time already to go?  Hey, hey

  C             G           D
I swear we just brought you home

                 C               G      D
So how can it be time already to go? Oe oe
