Lyrics

Dear Emma, it's only a matter of weeks
You make your first impression
We'll finally meet
I heard that you can blink
Your eyes are beginning to see
Oh, the sight that you will be
Dear Emma, you're taking your first steps
Such a beautiful baby girl in her summer dress
The words you speak are few
And I just can't wait to talk to you
Don't grow too fast
Don't grow too fast
And I, I just can't wait to see
What it's like to hold you in my arms
Watch you smile back at me
There are many things that I could say
Many things that I could do
It's best for me to let this life come to you
Oh, I just can't wait to see
Who you're gonna be
Dear Emma, it's your first day of school
We watch you skip off to class
Just before you tie your shoes
Your teacher says you're bright
You're anything but shy
The limits for you are beyond the sky
Dear Emma, I was once thirteen too
I know it may not make much sense
Your parents understand what you're going through
Easy on your mom and dad
Remember to say "I love you"
Don't grow too fast
And I, I just can't wait to see
What it's like to hold you in my arms
Watch you smile back at me
There are many things that I could say
Many things that I could do
It's best for me to let this life come to you
Oh, I just can't wait to see
Who you're gonna be
Who you're gonna be
Dear Emma, I'm sorry about the tears
Love can sometimes take your breath away
But we always leave a chance for heartbreak
The right one will come along someday
In times like these, don't forget to pray
Dear Emma, I can't believe you're eighteen, how?
I see you at your graduation in your cap and gown
We couldn't be more proud
It's only the beginning now
Don't grow too fast
And I, I just can't wait to see
What it's like to hold you in my arms
Watch you smile back at me
There are many things that I could say
Many things that I could do
It's best for me to let this life come to you
Oh, I just can't wait to see
Who you're gonna be
Dear Emma, you're taking your first steps
This time it's down an aisle
I've never seen a more beautiful bride
In her wedding dress
Don't grow too fast
Don't grow too fast
