| [00:15.198] |
Your little hands wrapped around my finger |
| [00:18.641] |
And it's so quiet in the world tonight |
| [00:22.889] |
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming |
| [00:26.142] |
So I tuck you in turn on your favorite night light |
| [00:31.145] |
To you everything's funny |
| [00:35.896] |
You got nothing to regret |
| [00:39.391] |
I'd give all I have honey |
| [00:43.651] |
If you could stay like that |
| [00:46.147] |
Oh darling don't you ever grow up don't you ever grow up |
| [00:51.651] |
Just stay this little |
| [00:54.147] |
Oh darling don't you ever grow up don't you ever grow up |
| [00:58.897] |
It could stay this simple |
| [01:02.647] |
I won't let nobody hurt you |
| [01:06.398] |
Won't let no one break your heart |
| [01:10.903] |
No one will desert you |
| [01:14.652] |
Just try to never grow up never grow up |
| [01:32.150] |
You're in the car on the way to the movies |
| [01:35.402] |
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off |
| [01:39.896] |
At 14 there's just so much you can't do |
| [01:42.847] |
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots |
| [01:47.597] |
But don't make her drop you off around the block |
| [01:51.346] |
Remember that she's getting older too |
| [01:55.352] |
And don't lose the way that you dance around |
| [01:59.103] |
In your PJs getting ready for school |
| [02:02.853] |
Oh darling don't you ever grow up don't you ever grow up |
| [02:08.356] |
Just stay this little |
| [02:10.604] |
Oh darling don't you ever grow up don't you ever grow up |
| [02:15.352] |
It could stay this simple |
| [02:19.597] |
No one's ever burned you |
| [02:22.851] |
Nothing's ever left you scarred |
| [02:27.355] |
And even though you want to |
| [02:31.357] |
Just try to never grow up |
| [02:41.100] |
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room |
| [02:48.858] |
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home |
| [02:55.360] |
Remember the footsteps remember the words said |
| [02:59.608] |
And all your little brother's favorite songs |
| [03:04.601] |
I just realized everything I have |
| [03:08.107] |
Is someday gonna be gone |
| [03:12.101] |
So here I am in my new apartment |
| [03:15.354] |
In a big city they just dropped me off |
| [03:19.602] |
It's so much colder than I thought it would be |
| [03:22.854] |
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on |
| [03:33.364] |
Wish I'd never grown up |
| [03:40.108] |
I wish I'd never grown up |
| [03:42.105] |
Oh I don't wanna grow up wish I'd never grown up |
| [03:48.109] |
Could still be little |
| [03:50.362] |
Oh I don't wanna grow up wish I'd never grown up |
| [03:55.609] |
It could still be simple |
| [03:58.380] |
Oh darling don't you ever grow up don't you ever grow up |
| [04:03.115] |
Just stay this little |
| [04:05.863] |
Oh darling don't you ever grow up don't you ever grow up |
| [04:10.539] |
It could stay this simple |
| [04:14.046] |
Won't let nobody hurt you |
| [04:18.539] |
Won't let no one break your heart |
| [04:22.787] |
And even though you want to |
| [04:26.294] |
Please try to never grow up |
| [04:34.540] |
Don't you ever grow up |
| [04:42.539] |
Just never grow up |
