The Day After Yesterday (Slow Down)

This is a song my son accidentally came up with When he was about to turn 6 years old And I told him I would write it Well, today he turns 18, Happy Birthday I couldn't tell you why a man woke up this way Lately, that's how it's going I closed my eyes and time flew by Got a couple of gray hairs showin' And my little boy got bigger than me So quick, I missed him growing I forgot about the journey, cause I got into a hurry Only worried about where I was going But time keeps rolling on and on and on and on Time keeps rolling on and on and I wish it would Slow down Take a minute and make you a memory Slow down Don't rush through the day One thing you can't buy more of is time Spend it wisely because it's ticking away Slow down and stay In the day after yesterday Every second that we're given's a gift But I never get it till the second is gone I take for granted little things that we get Like sunny days and my favorite songs Thinking back to pancakes at Mum Mum's The paper route with Pop Pop In his drop-top Jeep that me and Chuck flipped When we had filled in arguing about Peter Guns and Lord Tariq But we was just kids And after crawling out the windshield We're thrilled that we just lived 20 years pass since that and we still here Mum Mum and Pop Pop are gone now We miss them dear Me and Chuck and the boys Don't talk that much no more But they're my brothers And on the rare chance that we get to hang Hell yeah, I'm gonna stay and have another Slow down Take a minute and make you a memory Slow down Don't rush through the day One thing you can't buy more of is time Spend it wisely because it's ticking away Slow down and stay In the day after yesterday I remember one night outside Dante was five, he was about to be six I was out by the fire with the guys Getting wild like we normally did The little guy stepped to my side Asked me for time I was happy to give Said "Dad, I want to ask a few questions And I'm hoping you can answer them." "What is this next day called?" Said "Son, that's tomorrow" "What about the day before this?" Said, "That's yesterday" "So, what's this day we're on?" And before I got to answer He looked at me with his little face so proud And said "It's the day after yesterday!" Slow down Take a minute and make you a memory Slow down Don't rush through the day One thing you can't buy more of is time Spend it wisely because it's ticking away Slow down and stay In the day after yesterday The day after yesterday Today is the day after yesterday
