too young to be old

I can't believe you let me get married

When you made me pinky swear

That you were my true love, the one who braids my hair

You moved me into an apartment

You assembled all my chairs

But dinner's not the same when you're not there

The hardest part of growing up

Is watching time take everyone you love

But I won't let it, no, I won't accept it

You're too young to be old, you're too fast to be slow

You're too wise to be confused, and I can't do this on my own

Your lungs are strong, your mind is sharp

Daddy, please don't break my heart

And stay, don't go

You're too young, far too young to be old

Now you go to bed early

And your hair is mostly grey

I let you tell the same story that you told me yesterday

You walked me down the aisle

Then you gave me away

Maybe I'm in denial but I'm so afraid

The hardest part of growing up

Is watching time take everyone you love

But I won't let it, no, I won't accept it

You're too young to be old, you're too fast to be slow

You're too wise to be confused, I can't do this on my own

Your lungs are strong, your mind is sharp

Daddy, please don't break my heart

And stay, don't go

You're too young, far too young to be

How could you let me get married?

I thought we pinky swore

You'll always be my first love

You're too young to be old, you're too fast to be slow

You're too wise to be confused, and I can't do this on my own

Your lungs are strong, your mind is sharp

I'm not ready for this part

Stay, don't go

You're too young, far too young to be old
