paroles de chanson It Goes Fast - Stephen Kellogg

Seems like only yesterday you climbed up in that bus
Picture with a big ol' "K", and you smiling back at us
Birthdays and recitals, driving you all over town
We were both so busy trying not to let you down

Because love's a one way street, and you will always have my heart
I know you're in a rush, you were from the very start
So if I hold your hand too long, or embarrass you in class
Know I'm only hanging on, cause it goes fast

Cat was in the cradle, and I work most every day
Fumbling for the words, trying to know what I should say
When was I to push you? When was I to let you be?
If we had each others eyes can you imagine what we'd see?

But love's a one way street, and I know that much is true
I sometimes got frustrated, saw so much of me in you
But all of your best moments and the worst ones too won't last
It's like smoke right through your hands, it goes fast

The day your car rolls out that drive and doesn't park here anymore
That is the day that we were getting you ready for ...

Cause love's a one way street and you were made to drive away
I hope I'm there to see it when you have your own some day
The distance between then and now, it was shorter than we knew
If you don't believe me dear, one day you'll know it too
We're not the first to feel this way, and we will not be the last
There's something about that old cliché, it goes fast

... Seems like only yesterday, I could hear my parents say
"Do not wish your life away my son, my son
Make the rules up as you go, some days, they will feel real slow
Next thing that you know, you're looking back"
It goes fast, it goes fast...
