Don't rush to say you're mine
I've been fooled by faster lines
If you love me, take your time
Show me truth in every climb
Love me slowly, not in sparks
Let it grow in quiet marks
No fireworks, no grand parade
Just your hand that doesn't fade
I've heard the promises that fall
Quick and loud, then not at all
But if you're staying, let me see
A love that ages patiently
Love me slowly, not too loud
Whisper me your vows unbowed
I don't need a roaring flame
Just steady warmth and your true name
Let's build it brick by gentle brick
No more highs that end so quick
Love me slowly, if you dare
With every flaw you choose to bear
Don't rush in don't let it go
Love me slowly, so I'll know
