Intro: Stay little… please stay little… Verse 1: You’re chasing dreams across the floor Don’t know what pain is yet for sure I watch you laugh, it breaks my heart ‘Cause I know life can tear that apart I wish I could freeze this time Keep your innocence in every line Protect your soul from what I’ve seen Keep your world soft, safe, and clean Chorus: Don’t grow up too fast, please stay right here Where the world don’t hurt and nothing’s unclear I’ll take the pain, I’ll take the fall Just so you don’t feel it at all If I could trade my life for yours I’d close every broken door Just stay a kid, don’t lose that light I’ll fight your battles every night Verse 2: I see myself in your eyes Before the hurt, before the lies And it scares me more than anything What this life might someday bring So I work, I cry, I sacrifice Just to give you a better life Even if I fade away I’ll make sure you’re okay Outro (soft, fading): Don’t grow up… Not yet… Stay with me… A little longer…
