Your little hands wrapped around my finger, and it's so quiet in the world tonight. Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming, 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, darling, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little. Oh, darling, 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, no one will desert you, just try to NEVER grow UP.
