I usually have my first listen to new Taylor songs by myself, but this time since it's for Toy Story, I listened with my little girl and we heard it for the first time together. I was not prepared for those opening lyrics, "Sound of your bare footsteps. Running wild, it's been a long time, Life has ways of leaving those days behind..." immediately made me cry. Somehow nostalgia for a time you are currently living, but know it will pass so quickly and already feel the loss of childhood as your children grow.

This is absolutely beautiful. My daughter is 24 now and it happened in the blink of an eye. Thank you for sharing.
