My little child, won't you stay young forever?
My little child, can't you stay young forever?
It's been a minute, now, we've grown up together.
Baby, please, stay forever young.
My little child, won't you stay young forever?
Won't you stay!
My little child, can't you stay young forever?
Can't you stay!
It's been a minute, now, we've grown up together.
Baby, please, stay forever young.
Baby, please stay young forever!
But now I gotta say,
My, my, my, my, how you've grown.
My, how you've grown.
Oh baby, my, my, my, my, how you've grown.
My, how you've grown.
Wasn't too long ago
When u were beggin' me at night to stay by ur side
when you went to sleep. Oh!
And I would tell u not to worry
We could meet up on a little white cloud
Up there in a dream...
But now you're older and more competent
Wiser & confident
Responsible & similar compliments
I know you're already on top of it.
Yyyeah! And one day, u might not need me no more.
But I promise I'll always be here for you that's fa sho!
I'm singing my, my, my, my, how you've grown.
My, how you've grown.
Oh baby, my, my, my, my, how you've grown.
My, how you've grown.
Like peter pan,
I'll never age in tha land of never never
i'm gonna stay this young forever
---whatever path---
I gotta be clever, see?
another identity?
nah, just me with a bigger body.
Think I'm old? in minute, i'll be older.
Remember the time I would ride on your shoulders?
But now I'm competent
wiser and confident
responsible and similar adjectives
You know I'm already the raddest kid!
HA! but I kid,
cuz, well, that's just what I be.
And I never will grow up
Forever y-o-u-n-g!
All this time we've taken
Baby steps, day by day
through all the crazyness.
Moment by moment
through the babyness.
And now ur grown up,
It's the craziest. Oh!
I've always known it
this was meant to be.
Back when u started learning ABC's.
And now its funny just the way I feel.
Happy and sad you
lost your training wheels.
But now, all I can say is
But now all I can say is,
My, my, my, my, how you've grown.
My, how you've grown. (repeat)
