Don't Grow up Too Soon

Don't Grow up Too Soon - The Candle Thieves

When you come out

I know all these little doubts

Will be long forgotten when I cut the cord

And when you cry I will sing a lullaby

Saying your good looks

Come from your mother's side

You don't ever have to hide

Don't grow up too soon

When the weight of the world

Starts pulling on you

I will help you through

We can waste an afternoon

Don't grow up too soon

Don't grow up too soon

When the weight of the world

Starts pulling on you

I will help you through

We can waste an afternoon

Don't grow up too soon

Home is a place where you can grow

Whatever lies ahead I want you to know

That being a grown up's all for show

Let it go and

Soon as you stand

Everyone starts making plans

And the more you know

The less you understand

But until then you can learn to count to ten

If at first you don't succeed then try again

And know you'll always have a friend

Don't grow up too soon

When the weight of the world

Starts pulling on you

I will help you through

We can waste an afternoon

Don't grow up too soon

Don't grow up too soon

When the weight of the world

Starts pulling on you

I will help you through

We can waste an afternoon

Don't grow up too soon
