Walk a little slower....I must follow you

Walk a little slower Daddy,

said a child so small,

I'm following in your footsteps

and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they're hard to see;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

for you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,

you're what I want to be;

then I will have a little child

who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,

and know that I was true,

so walk a little slower, Daddy,

for I must follow you.
