  			G 
Here’s to you  
         C        
You were pink or blue  
      D 
And everything I wanted  
G 
Here’s to you  
       C 
Never sleeping through  
      D 
From midnight till the morning  
       Em                D 
Had to crawl before you walked  
           G 
Before you ran  
          G 
Before I knew it  
     Em                       D             G 
You were trying to free your fingers from my hand  
                            Am        D 
‘Cause you could it on your own now somehow 

G 
Slow down  
            D 
Won’t you stay here a minute more  
Em                           C 
I know you want to walk through the door  
             G 
But it’s all too fast  
              D 
Let’s make it last a little while  
Em                    C 
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly  
Am        G 
I am your biggest fan  
Am         G 
I hope you know I am  
Am                        D 
But do you think you can somehow  
        G C D 
Slow down 

G 
Here’s to you  
      C 
Every missing tooth  
D 
Every bedtime story  
G                      C 
Here’s to Barbie cars, light saber wars  
D 
And Church on Sunday morning 
Em 
Had to crawl  
D 
Before you walked  
G 
Before you ran  
G 
Before I knew it  
Em 
You were teaching me  
D                  G 
The only thing love can  
G 
Hold hands through it  
          Am            D 
When it’s scary, you’ve got me 

G 
Slow down  
            D 
Won’t you stay here a minute more  
Em                           C 
I know you want to walk through the door  
             G 
But it’s all too fast  
              D 
Let’s make it last a little while  
Em                    C 
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly  
Am        G 
I am your biggest fan  
Am         G 
I hope you know I am  
Am                        D 
But do you think you can somehow  
        G C D 
Slow down 



D             Am 
Please don’t roll your eyes at me  
   C        D 
I know I’m embarrassing  
Em            C 
But someday you’ll understand  
D 
You’ll hold a little hand  
D 
Ask them if they can  


G 
Slow down  
            D 
Won’t you stay here a minute more  
Em                           C 
I know you want to walk through the door  
             G 
But it’s all too fast  
              D 
Let’s make it last a little while
