A few weeks ago I recorded a podcast episode eloquently titled, “What’s the Rush? Permission to Slow the Eff Down.”
Somehow I’d totally forgotten that I’d get to meet Nichole Nordeman AND watch her perform her beautiful / heartbreaking song “Slow Down” live just a few weeks later.
I’d seen the video when it started making the rounds on Facebook last year, but when I heard it in person – I may have actually cried my face off.
Whether it’s your first or your 100th time listening, IF and when you’re ready, give yourself the gift of a tissue and a few minutes of time to process afterward. This one goes deep. <3

Here’s to you
You were pink or blue
And everything I wanted
Here’s to you
Never sleeping through
From midnight till the morning
Had to crawl before you walked
Before you ran
Before I knew it
You were trying to free your fingers from my hand
‘Cause you could it on your own now
Somehow
Slow down
Won’t you stay here a minute more
I know you want to walk through the door
But it’s all too fast
Let’s make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down
Here’s to you
Every missing tooth
Every bedtime story
Here’s to Barbie cars, light saber wars
Sleeping in on Sunday
Had to crawl
Before you walked
Before you ran
Before I knew it
You were teaching me
The only thing love can
Hold hands through it
When it’s scary, you’ve got me
But slow down
Won’t you stay here a minute more
I know you wanna walk through the door
But it’s all too fast
Let’s make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down
Please don’t roll your eyes at me
I know I’m embarrassing
But someday you’ll understand
You’ll hold a little hand
Ask them if they can
Whoah
‘Cause it’s all too far
Whoah
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can
Somehow
Slow down
Slow down
