Текст песни
This is a song I wrote for my son
I couldn't tell you why a man woke up this way
Lately, that's how it's going
I closed my eyes and time flew by
Got a couple of gray hairs showin'
And my little boy got bigger than me
So quick, I missed him growing
I forgot about the journey cause I got into a hurry
Only worried about where I was going
But time keeps rolling on and on and on and on
Time keeps rolling on and on and I wish it would
Slow down
Take a minute and make you a memory
Slow down
Don't rush through the day
One thing you can't buy more of is time
Spend it wisely because it's ticking away
Slow down and stay
In the day after yesterday
Every second that we're given's a gift
But I never get it till the second is gone
I take for granted little things that we get
Like sunny days and my favorite songs
Thinking back to pancakes at Mum Mum's
The paper route with Pop Pop
In his drop top Jeep that me and Chuck flipped
When we had filled in arguing about
Peter Guns and Lord Tariq
But we was just kids
And after crawling out the windshield
We're thrilled that we just lived
20 years pass since that and we still here
Mum Mum and Pop Pop are gone now
We miss them dear
Me and Chuck and the boys
Don't talk that much no more
But they're my brothers
And on the rare chance that we get to hang
Hell yeah, gonna stay and have another
Slow down
Take a minute and make you a memory
Slow down
Don't rush through the day
One thing you can't buy more of is time
Spend it wisely because it's ticking away
Slow down and stay
In the day after yesterday
I remember one night outside
Dante was five, he was about to be six
I was out by the fire with the guys
Getting wild like we normally did
The little guy stepped to my side
Asked me for time I was happy to give
Said "Dad, I want to ask a few questions
And I'm hoping you can answer them."
"What is this next day called?"
Said "Son, that's tomorrow"
"What about the day before this?"
Said, "That's yesterday"
"So what's this day we're on?"
And before I got to answer
He looked at me with his little face so proud
And said, "It's the day after yesterday!"
Slow down
Take a minute and make you a memory
Slow down
Don't rush through the day
One thing you can't buy more of is time
Spend it wisely because it's ticking away
Slow down and stay
In the day after yesterday
The day after yesterday
Today is the day after yesterday
