"too young to be old" lyrics

I can't believe you let me get married
When you made me pinky swear that you were my true love
The one who braids my hair
You moved me into an apartment
You assembled all my chairs
But dinner's not the same when you're not there

The hardest part of growing up is watching time take everyone you love
But I won't let it. No I won't accept it.

You're too young to be old
You're too fast to be slow
You're too wise to be confused
And I can't do this on my own
Your lungs are strong
Your mind is sharp
Daddy please don't break my heart
And stay, don't go
You're too young, far too young to be old

Now you go to bed early
And your hair is mostly grey
I let you tell the same story that you told me yesterday
You walked me down the aisle
Then you gave me away
Maybe I'm in denial but I'm so afraid

The hardest part of growing up is watching time take everyone you love
But I won't let it. No I won't accept it.

You're too young to be old
You're too fast to be slow
You're too wise to be confused
And I can't do this on my own
Your lungs are strong
Your mind is sharp
Daddy please don't break my heart
And stay, don't go
You're too young, far too young to be

How could you let me get married?
I thought we pinky swore
You'll always be my first love

You're too young to be old
You're too fast to be slow
You're too wise to be confused
And I can't do this on my own
Your lungs are strong
Your mind is sharp
I'm not ready for this part
Stay, don't go
You're too young, far too young to be old
