Don't You Grow up on Me Now

Don't You Grow Up On Me Now It seems like yesterday we brought you home So how'd you get to be eight years old You use to fall asleep on my lap And now you won't even take a nap I love watching you dancing in your momma's shoes Oh but that'll be a memory pretty soon You'll be putting on makeup thinking about boys And I won't even have a choice Don't you grow up on me now I know that you will there's no doubt But I'd give anything to slow this thing down Don't you grow up on me now I still remember your first day of school You were scared to death, you wouldn't let us leave the room Now when I drop you off you turn and look back Say "see you later Dad" Don't you grow up on me now I know that you will there's no doubt But I'd give anything to slow this thing down Don't you grow up on me now I'll teach you, I'll hug you, I'll raise you, I'll love you And when I send you off into the world You'll still be my little girl Don't you grow up on me now I know that you will there's no doubt But I'd give anything to slow this thing down Don't you grow up on me now Don't you grow up on me now
