Your little hands wrapped around my finger
|
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
|
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
|
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight
|
|
To you, everything's funny
|
You got nothing to regret
|
I'd give all I have honey
|
If you could stay like that
|
|
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
|
Just stay this little
|
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
|
It could stay this simple
|
I won't let nobody hurt you
|
Won't let no one break your heart
|
No one will desert you
|
Just try to never grow up
|
Never grow up
|
|
You're in the car on the way to the movies
|
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
|
At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
|
And you can't wait to move out
|
Someday and call your own shots
|
|
But don't make her drop you off around the block
|
Remember that she's getting older too
|
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your p.j.s getting ready for school
|
|
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
|
Just stay this little
|
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
|
It could stay this simple
|
And no one's ever burned you
|
Nothing's ever left you scarred
|
And even though you want to
|
Just try to never grow up
|
|
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
|
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
|
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
|
And all your little brother's favorite songs
|
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
|
|
So here I am in my new apartment
|
In a big city, they just dropped me off
|
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
|
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
|
|
Wish I'd never grown up
|
I wish I'd never grown up
|
Oh I don't wanna grow up
|
Wish I'd never grown up
|
Could still be little
|
Oh I don't wanna grow up
|
Wish I'd never grown up
|
It could still be simple
|
|
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
|
Just stay this little
|
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
|
It could stay this simple
|
I won't let nobody hurt you
|
Won't let no one break your heart
|
And even though you want to
|
Please try to never grow up
|
Don't you ever grow up
|
Just never grow up
|
