Key:
C G There is excitement in the air of
D that hospital waiting room
C G It's been nine whole months
D already and now they're finally due
C And the friends and the families
G are laughing out loud
D Cause this is the day they've all talked about
C G But in the commotion the nurse
D grabbed her hand and said [Chorus 1]
C G Slow down honey, 'cause it's
D 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 Oh the days they take so long, but
D the years fly by so fast
C G And the momma slowly shook her
D 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 Well a couple short years later,
D they were driving down the road
C G Another first day back at school,
D making memories of her own
C She had her backpack and books
Continues after the ad
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 Oh the days they take so long, but
D the years fly by so fast
C G And the momma slowly shook her
D 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 She was in a college sweatshirt,
D finally living on her own
C G Then I pointed at the picture and
D said that will be me soon
C G And my momma grabbed my hand and
D whispered, "I love you" [Other]
C 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 Oh the days they take so long, but
D the years fly by so fast
C G Oh I hope you make the best of
D what you get
C Cause soon it will be time already
G D
C G How can it be time already to go?
D Hey, hey
C G D I swear we just brought you home
C G So how can it be time already to
D go? Oe oe
