Funny, I was sure you would give this song an overwhelmingly positive review, but now I can understand why you didn’t. It is hard to get a handle on the woman herself. The songwriters definitely could have developed her character more thoroughly, or even described her reaction to the advice she is being given throughout the song.

Great song – but I noticed too, that the “critic” said the plumber was a woman. Must not have listened very well. And it’s a good song, and I did not once look down on the woman in the song. She sounded like a typical teenager, wanting to rush through life to get to the next part. My daughter will be moving out next month, and then it will be just me and my 15 year old son, and I am regretting the day he moves away – it will be just me then.

It is not the cool thing to do but I don’t care. My name is Lee Miller and I wrote that song with Ashley Gorley. We are both blessed to be professional songwriters. But more importantly, I am a father and a husband. I found the critique and kinda laughed because we’re use to people not getting what we do. The music business is a “no” business. But then every now and then somebody says yes. I scrolled down and read all of your comments and I was very touched. Thank you for listening and taking your time to say nice things.(And come to our rescue!)
By the way, for what it’s worth, Trace is a nice guy, and good husband and a great father.

Obviously the critics here do not know what they are saying. This song is An A+
As a mother of 5 I tell my kids all the time to slow down and enjoy life. There are times when I look back myself and say “gee, I miss that” I hope someday they will look back and say the same thing. I heard Trace sing this song in concert and I could hear the emotion in his voice. It brought tears to my eyes.

Being a Mother of 4 girls I can relate. My oldest just turned 13 and I look and see the little girl who was in the recycling bin and that short, fuzzy hair and think time has gone by so fast. There are days my girls fight from dusk til dawn and I wish they would grow up and I could be me again, but when they are at school I am so lonely and miss the noise and bickering that thye do and that we do. Time does go by fast. So for those of you frustrated just think how quickly they grow up and soon they will be gone and you’ll be alone. I know I get sad thinking about it all the time. Slow down and enjoy the fighting and bickering. Soon it’ll all be a memory.

I absolutely LOVE this song! Being a “new bride” myself, I really relate to this song’s first 2/3…makes me cry everytime I hear this song!

I am so glad that I heard this before my own kids are crying, so I realize now that cherishing every single moment with them is what is important.

Thank you, Trace, for recording and putting this song out there – I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful! Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it! I have a 2 year old and I am still young…21. With work full time and college full tim I sometimes am overwhelmed amd loose sight of the very reason I am working so hard…my baby girl. She’s grown so much already…I enjoy her everyday and hope that I can look back and know that I cherished every moment. I know no matter what I will miss this.
