Nichole Nordeman - Slow Down (Official Lyric Video)

[@hcabnekogcram]

My little girl turned 30 today. We celebrated last week when she was in town but that's not the same. Not a day goes by where I don't feel this way. My little boy turns 33 in 2 weeks. When he was born, "Cats In The Cradle" by Harry Chapin was the song that sent me into tears. This captures even more of that bittersweet feeling. I sit here crying knowing that while I have awesome relationships with my kids and they are accomplishing great things in life, I do sometimes wish indeed that they could have "slowed down". I thank you for this incredible song and the unconditional love it portrays.

[@yadavapurva]

I am 29 and share the exact feelings for my child, even on his second birthday. I guess parent's love for their child is unexplainable.

"The days are long, but the years are short" ...the minute my first child was born, time just went into super speed. This song rips my heart out. Having these precious children has been the greatest adventure and blessing of my life. I try to soak up the time with them, good and bad, casue it's flying by.❤❤❤❤

Danced with my mom at my wedding to this song. Never cried so much in my life❤️

[@Oh4FoxsSake]

Congratulations on your wedding Kevin! I’m not sure if you two plan to have a family someday or not. It’s a very personal decision that isn’t right for everyone. I will tell you though, that you will never be able to fully grasp or comprehend how much your parents love you until the first time you hold your 1st born in your arms. There are many people that you will love in your life. Your parents, siblings, friends, especially your spouse. But the moment that little hand grabs hold of your pinkie is the moment you get to learn what it means to love someone unconditionally. There is nothing stronger or more powerful in this entire world than the love a mother & father have for their children. ♥️

[@Quimbulis090790]

Judging from the comments and personal experience....you have no idea how much you can sob tears of joy and sadness simultaneously until you have kids. What a wonderful joy yet my goodness....stop for five seconds.

[@MalonsShop]

Exactly. If my son wasn't born I would have had no idea

[@chloe_3787]

My older cousin just used this for a video of her baby's first year. I had never heard it before that. I'm 15 and sobbing my eyes out. After finishing freshman year, I quickly realized I only have 3 years until graduation. Then what? I wish I could slow down, and be with my parents longer. All those days of being 5, 6, 7 when all I wanted to do was grow up, that's all over. If I could fall asleep in my mom's arms like I did for the first four years of my life, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I didn't know it then, but at age eight, I had it all. Worry free and ready to take on the world. Now I'm too grown up for everything I used to love, the stress is real, and nothing seems simple. Nothing is familiar and the future is scary. Anyone with me? Edit: I love how people are asking for an update now 💜 I graduated high school in June of 2021, and I just started college this fall. I’m an education major. I still miss the past-right now, I feel like I am just tumbling through life. I think more people need to say that it’s okay if you don’t really like college that much. It doesn’t have to be “the best four years of your life.” Right now, I feel like I’m in that stage of life when I just want to be in those years when you settle into a routine; I want a degree, a job, a home, a family, and a little stability. I know that’s easier said than done haha, and I’m sure when I’m in line at preschool drop off for the umpteenth time I’ll be wishing for a little mix up in life. But right now, it’s something new every time things start to feel a little bit normal.

[@stormycloud2163]

Yes the furture is scary i believe that

[@pezheadeli01]

I agree completely

[@hollyfisher8811]

Chloe _ I know it is a crazy world for you sweet youngsters to be facing this days and cannot guarantee it will all be easy, by any means!! YET, I can promise God has your back every single day when you only seek HIM first💝~Be around others who believe the same way, for uplifting fellowship and teaching; then you can go out, with Jesus always walking next to you (or carrying His Child during the toughest of times) and make the difference in this World on the path He has set before you... Sending Blessings, Hugs, & Lotsa LUV❣:)

[@sweetfreeze5528]

You are in my prayers as a mama to 3. My oldest is now in 11th grade and I remember back when I was young. It seems like yesterday. I remember not wanting ot grow up as it seemed so scary to me. But now I'm walking beside my children going through the same things, holding their hands but allowing them to grow. The years go by so fast and just know that you start every day with a single step. You do not need to jump. Just step forward. Little by little. And also know we mamas love it when even our older children just want to be held and sung to. That's where the blessings of being a parent come from 🤗 God bless!

[@amyr.crawford8082]

I remember when I was little and I asked my mom if I could stay with her forever and never move out. Even though you will eventually grow up and want to move out, you'll always remember being a kid and loving your mom so much you never wanted to leave, and she'll remember it too, and they'll be memories to cherish forever. I'm a mom now, and if my daughter tells me she wants to stay with me forever, I'll be really happy even though I know she's going to grow up and get tired of her mom and want to move out. I'll be happy because it's a beautiful memory to have.

I chose this song for my mother/son dance at my son's wedding. So glad I found this, it's perfect!

[@sareynolds7004]

I want to know how this woman can sing this song without uncontrollably sobbing the whole way through.... I literally can not listen to this without getting all emotional 😭

[@thetruthwillsetyoufree7912]

Same every time I sing it I ball . I cannot get through the whole thing. Thinking of my babies who are now teens . 😢

[@FileCorruption]

This song was used in an class of 2024 video for my school and I'm a very emotionally strong person but this song always brings me to tears because it just makes me think when my life was good and I had noting to stress about, and as I'm writing this I'm crying. I miss the good times.

[@inekebruijns9911]

My oldest granddaughter is almost two now and her sister was born three days ago.. 🧡 how small she is and how much her big sister has grown.. Time flies so fast.. 🥹 I try to hold on to all the beautiful moments for a very long time.. Grandma is the biggest fan🙏💕🥰

[@SamanthaBurket]

Tomorrow is my daughters 11th birthday, I've danced with her to this song every night before her birthday since it was released. The time goes by so so very fast

[@meleahrubino]

My firstborn was only a baby when this song came out, and she’s 8 now. I come back to this song every year. As my children age, it becomes more meaningful and emotional to listen to.

[@ST-dy3jn]

Favorite song! Children are amazing they don't keep. One day you will be looking at a grown up. Enjoy it, it goes by so fast!!

[@vanshikasharma1755]

i wish i could turn back time and press the pause button .... Growing up made me realise that I miss being a kid again 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@bunnybattlelane203]

Perfect song for graduations and weddings :)

[@mxcchio]

I would cry if I heard this at any of my graduations but in a good way😅

[@mxcchio]

+Charlotte Ord omg I would too😭😂

[@savagequeen1146]

It was my 5th graduation song

[@doctorproctor2780]

+Angel Ge yeah I know my sister graduated last year and they put home videos of us as kids and played this song and a few more and it was sad I cried

[@meganbennett7611]

my cousin graduated this year and this was the song they used for her graduation video😊

[@PrincessElisa8]

As a soon to be FTM to a little boy in November, I can’t help but sob listening to this. Even while growing inside me I’m afraid of how fast life goes and how he’ll be here before I know it and grow and grow…and I hope time slows down just a little so I get to enjoy my precious boy before he’s all grown up 💙

[@phyllisperry9477]

I sang this to my granddaughter every night when she was a baby. She will be 21 this week. Listening to this song today brings tears to my eyes!

[@treyalston3414]

It really makes you think of how blessed I am to have my mom in my life. No I wasn't always the best child to her but she still kept putting up with me. She is not perfect and parenting is not easy but I have had such a blessed childhood. And now being 20 years old in college she is still taking care of me. I love my mom and I am thankful for her. And you know what too, even though my dad is not in my life I love him too and I can't wait to see him on earth and if not then in heaven. But I'd love to see him on earth

[@davidreyesiii6785]

This will bring any parent too tears.. I’m here lying in bed missing my son more than anything right now. Makes me realize I HAVE to cherish these little moments right now..

[@AlainBruno]

She has a beautiful voice.

[@nolanknows1401]

I never thought I would be the sentimental type with things like this, but now I have a 6 year old and a 1 year old and time is just racing by. These moments are like gifts from heaven that you don't want to lose.... but you know they're still slipping through your hands

[@Oh4FoxsSake]

4yrs later & I’m sure you’re feeling this more than ever with what was your 1yo. now starting kindergarten. ❤

[@katelynpage7524]

Who else cried watching this? I love this song!❤️

[@topalovic550]

Svake godine djelim ovu pjesmu na kćerkin rođendan..i svaki puta me emocije ponesu. plačem i plačem... Bože kako vrijeme leti..jučer je bila beba,a danas puni 11 godina..

[@dianacherry1411]

Absolutely balling my eyes out. I've spent this last year holding on so tight, trying not to blink but time just keeps going no matter how much you try to hold on. Bless you and your wonderful children. I pray you always have a close relationship and that those beautiful moments last a lifetime. ❤

[@doctorproctor2780]

Sarah Eby then just imagine my Mom and Dad, my brother graduated last year and they put a video together with this song of home movies of us as babies and pictures and us at places that don't even excsist anymore.

[@PyroPisces]

Sarah Eby Same here! I'm only 18, but I'm currently crying my eyes out.

[@oneandonlylostgirl]

Nichole Nordemans songs always brought me to tears. now I've been feeling so down lately. listening to her songs made me feel closer to God ❤️

[@artemisly9606]

I told my mom this song, and this made her tear up. Thank you. It's such a wonderful song.

[@miserimuslovestarvus6587]

This song makes me cry every single time! Great piece. Thanks for sharing

[@NateTheGr8ness]

Even though I'm not a parent, this song hit me hard, and I can't stop the flood of tears coming down my face right now.

[@kimdicillo8518]

This song left me in tears..

[@Pysxhotic_Barbie]

My daughter is five months old and I’m sobbing while she’s sound asleep. I really don’t want this cuddly little baby to grow up. I want her to stay little and never leave. She’s my whole world

[@Kelly-ne9yw]

I have a 14 month old grandson. My daughter posted pictures of him learning to walk. I can’t stop the tears. This song is beyond amazing ❤️

[@madlol2021]

This is a wonderful song Here I am a 17 year old sobbing in bed at 10 pm cuz of this I love this song so much but it makes my heart ache because of the connection I make to my mom Her and my father divorced when I wan very young and made the hard decision that I'd be best with my dad From ages 5 and on I saw my mom maybe 1-4 times a year She never got to watch me grow up like a normal mom does, and she still doesn't get too since she lives out of the country, all she got to see was 1-3 week snapshots into my life a few times a year and it makes my heart break I know her decision was the bear thing and I love her to bits but the pain and confusion I delt with I can only imagine knowing your child is growing up and achieving things and hitting milestones and you don't get to see any of it because they are hours away and you needed to get away and find your happyness. I love her so much, when she did see me she showered me in love and encouraged me to be independent and follow my dreams

[@amandaagnew6787]

I'm sitting here watching my girls play while listening to this. God I love them so much. must not cry!

[@edithsaldana7622]

Just found the perfect song for my daughter 15 !! All the memories in one song this is going to be our song.❤

[@jenenifer2007]

Cant get through this song without crying, big tears. Slow down my babies

[@ujustgotowned8897]

This is the most amazing song I've heard in such a long time!! I'm getting married to my beautiful bride in March 2017!! This is going to be the song I dance to with my mom!! Thank you SOOOO so much for making this!! You just made my wedding even better!! Again!! THANK YOU!!!!! 😥😥😥

[@lynnmarkegard2386]

nick powell Dancing to this with my amazing son at his wedding tomorrow night! Blessings to you in your marriage! Happy Anniversary!

[@Oh4FoxsSake]

@@lynnmarkegard2386I hope he had a wonderful wedding! It’s been 5yrs. I obviously don’t know if you’re a grandma now or not but if so, it’s time to play it for him again & for your grand babies!

[@mmunchie187]

As a dad, this sums up everything I want to say. Never knew I needed a best mate like my little one until he got here. He was everything I was missing. He is 6 now but it's all going too fast and I make him promise me that he will still cuddle me like he does now when he is older. Wish I could pause time and just ask him to slow down. Beautiful lyrics and pull at the heart strings every time!

[@selenatena7658]

I wish God bless me away from my sorrows and to bless me with a loving husband and family like in this video. Let peace be with you all..❤

[@lithaley1618]

[@jeremyhenry4516]

God's listening to your heavenly wish, your heartfelt prayer. my prayer is for God to turn things around and to what He intended real family to be, loads of love leave and happiness.

[@natashadavies1690]

Beautiful song. Not only yesterday was I looking at my sons baby photos and he's now heading to secondary school in September and 5 foot 2 tall.my daughter now 8 and 4 foot 9.....where have my tiny babies gone. Xxmummy misses those baby moments,I'm glad I've scrapbooked so many moments

[@theresamuro1897]

This song truly explains the love I have for my kids. I sing this song to both of them every night to sleep ❤️

[@baishaligoswami579]

I have my niece who is my biggest motivation. She will turn 7 year next month and I am so happy and emotional at the same time ❤❤ this song is soo touching 😊

[@powerponymya]

This song was played at my P7 assembly while baby photos were shown. I felt like bursting out into tears, this song is one of the reasons.

[@andrewnewsome5319]

When the kid started singing for his mom to slow down I just lost it. Now my homework is covered in tears

[@jenmar4540]

Zoie- I remember the day you were born like it just happened and you're already almost in middle school. I really wish that I could go back in time and cherish every sleepless night, every diaper change, every first word and all of the great stuff that comes with being your momma. This is one of the best songs and makes me cry everytime. From today forward I'm going to relax and enjoy watching you grow. I love you so much and you're the best thing that's ever happened in my life.

[@clairemawson4692]
