Don't Grow Up Too Fast

When you find out you're gonna be a dad Nine months goes by way too fast And you didn't know what you didn't have 'til you have it Then you're losing sleep, staying up all night Can't believe how much she cries But every tear and every smile makes you fall a little deeper I never thought I could love like this, I guess Every star and every wish came true When I first held you So grow up and be who you're gonna be I'll be right here, anything you need The only thing I ask Is don't grow up too fast I had a dream you were seventeen And you had some guy you wanted me to meet All I know is I think I squeezed A little harder than I shoulda when I shook his hand There'll be times you think I'm mean That shirt won't work, go change those jeans I'm old, uncool and don't know a thing But some day you'll understand I never thought I could love like this, I guess Every star and every wish came true When I first held you So grow up and be who you're gonna be I'll be right here, anything you need Only thing I ask Is don't grow up too fast From spilled milk and training wheels And "Daddy, he's the one" To that day giving you away I'm coming undone So grow up and be who you're gonna be I'll be right here, anything you need The only thing I ask Is don't grow up too fast It goes by too fast
