Never Grow Up

Your little hands wrapped around my finger And it's so quite in the world tonight Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming So I tuck you in, turn on your favourite night light 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 You're in the car, on the way to the movies And you're mortified you're mum's dropping you off At 14, there so 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 old too Don't lose the way you dance around In your PJ'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 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 know you little brother's favourite song I just realised everything I have is one day gonna be gone 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 no-one will desert you Just try to never grow up Don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up
