Baby Steps Copyright, 2019 Kevin W. Kenney
Verse 1
One year old, he’s wobbling toward me Holding the edge of the coffee table
He lets go, stands still for a moment, then zooms right past me as I say “Be careful”
On his way, on his own- I blink my eyes and I swear he grows
Chorus
He moves away in baby steps It's nature's way of helping me accept
He's growing up before my eyes A fleeting glimpse, I realize
With baby steps, time sneaks by
Verse 2
Sixteen years old, where'd the time go? He's holding on tightly to a steering wheel
Gives it a little gas, pulls away a bit too fast, down our street as I pray that he’s careful
On his way, on his grown- I wave goodbye and away he goes
Chorus
Bridge
Now he is grown, with kids of his own
Someday he'll know How fast the time goes
Chorus
They move away in baby steps
But even so, it won’t hurt any less
We never see how fast time flies
'Til we look back and realize
With baby steps, life snuck by
