The Gift That Made Me Slow Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a moment that changes everything When a heartbeat's not your own The world was spinning way too fast Then love said slow it down A baby's smile that lit the room And showed me what it's all about [Chorus] So fly, Tommy, fly Spread those wings across the sky Every step you've taken brought you here You've got that fire burning bright That stubborn, beautiful fight I'll always be your number one, I'm right here [Verse 2] You work so hard, you love so deep You carry people through the storm That sense of right and wrong you hold Those genes are running strong You're your Pops' grandson through and through Losing keys and glasses, laughing loud Full of fun and wild and free Lord, he'd be so proud [Chorus] So fly, Tommy, fly Spread those wings across the sky Every step you've taken brought you here You've got that fire burning bright That stubborn, beautiful fight I'll always be your number one, I'm right here [Bridge] I thought I knew what love could be The day I held you close to me But watching you become this man It's bigger than I'd ever planned [Verse 3] You never look back in that rearview mirror You keep your eyes on what's ahead And Tommy, that's the greatest gift More than any word I've said So when the road gets long and I'm not around Just listen close, you'll hear my voice I'm cheering from the highest cloud My sweet boy, my greatest joy [Chorus] So fly, Tommy, fly Spread those wings across the sky Every step you've taken brought you here You've got that fire burning bright That stubborn, beautiful fight I'll always be your number one, I'm right here [Outro] From the day you made me a mother To the man I see today I'll always be your biggest fan Each and every day
