Lyrics

Here’s to you.

You were pink or blue, and (G)ev ’ry thing I want ed.

Here’s to you, Bar bie cars, nev er sleep ing through from (G)mid night ’til the morn ing.

Had to crawl be fore you walked, be fore you ran.

Be fore I knew it, you were tryin’ to free your fin gers from my hand, ’cause you could do it on your own now,

you’ve some how.

Let’s Slow down.

Won’t you stay here a min ute more?

I know you wan na walk through (F)the door, but it’s all too fast.

Let’s make it last a lit tle while.

I point ed to the sky, and now you wan na fly.

I am your (C)big gest fan; I hope you (C)know I am.

But do you think you can some how

slow (C)down?

Here’s to you, ev ’ry miss ing tooth and (G)ev ’ry bed time sto ry.

Here’s to you, Bar bie cars, nev light sa ber wars and (G)sleep ing in on Sun day.

Had to crawl be fore you walked, be fore you ran.

Be fore I knew it, you were teach ing me the on ly thing love can: ’cause hold hands through it.

Oh, oh.
