Never Grow Up - One Voice Children's Choir
Produced by:Michelle Boothe/Tanner DeWaal/Masa Fukuda
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter
'Cause you're dreamin'
So I tuck you in turn on your favorite 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 darlin' don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
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
Never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up
Never never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's droppin' 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 gettin' older too
And don't lose the way that you dance
Around in your PJs getting ready for school
Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
And no one's ever burned you
Burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up
Never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Oh no
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
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
I never grown up
Never grown up
Wish I'd never grown up
Never grown up
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
Thing would still be simple
Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just 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
Oh oh
Never grown up
Never grown up
Just never grow up
Never grown up
Never never grown up
Just never grow up
