She's five
years old and mom's little girl
She wants to be just like her big sister
I wanna ride like you,
up and down our road
I know I can do it,
if you just let me go
And mom said, why do you hurry,
why do you rush?
Before you know it,
change will happen soon enough
So take your time, hold on,
drink it in
Don't wish it gone,
those little moments
They don't come around again
Before you know it, life goes by,
don't rush
Sister's getting ready,
going out on the town
She's watchin' and wishin'
She wants it all now
Wanna stay out late
And paint my lips red
Dance the night away
And get a boyfriend
Mom says
Whilst you hurry, whilst you rush
Before you know it,
change will happen soon enough
So take your time, hold on, drink it in
Don't wish it gone,
those little moments
They don't come around
again
Before you know it,
life goes by, don't rush
Parading round in mom's
high heels and pearls
Saying, look at me, I'm a big girl
An d she says,
what's your hurry?
What's your rush?
Take my word,
you'll be grown up soon enough
So take your time, hold on,
drink it in
Don't wish it gone,
those little moments
They don't come around again
Stop and listen, just slow down
It's your time to live far now
Before you know it, life goes by
Before you know it, life goes by
