why does it go so fast Songtext
von Ruxley

Be still, you forever

It feels like yesterday
That you came in and changed my world
Only yesterday
You were daddy′s little girl
I'd find your fingerprints on everything
Paintings hanging on the fridge
I remember all the games we used to play

Tiny shoes lined up along the hall
Lego on the kitchen floor
Now I can′t stand how it's all been cleaned away

'Cause I miss you on my shoulders
I blinked and you got older


I wish I could turn back time
When your little hand still fit in mine
When I had to lay with you at night
And life was a verse from a nursery rhyme
Why does it go so fast?
And when did you stop fitting in my arms?
See, I don′t wanna leave you in the past
No one ever said it would go this fast
Why does it go so fast?

It feels like yesterday
That you were lining up your toys
Only yesterday
That you were just a little boy

And every single thing I ever do
It′s always gonna be for you
'Til the last breath I take before I go
′Cause you're my everything, my legacy
All the better parts of me
And I love you to the bottom of my bones

Still I miss you on my shoulders
I blinked and it was over


I wish I could turn back time
When your little hand still fit in mine
When I had to lay with you at night
And life was a verse from a nursery rhyme
Why does it go so fast?
And when did you stop fitting in my arms?
See, I don′t wanna leave you in the past
No one ever said it would go this fast
Why does it go so far?
