Growing Up

歌詞

When you were a child and we all lived in the wild And we married And carried you in our arms and in our hearts We were two, then three Full and free just to be with you, see you Made us feel anew, just like every day, love you like today It's your birthday Even though your mother's suddenly crying She says it is the cake in the kitchen, you know she's lying Your brothers fighting of your balloons Still, the radio is playing all your favorite tunes And Daddy will take down "Peter Pan" from the shelf And he'll read it out loud, though you could read it yourself You're growing up, you're growing up But don't grow away from me Oh, life is like a dream The moment in between when you wake and sleep In the deep, knowing it now, knowing how It's heavy though, we can help you gro Wanna package up the world like a present We fail, and try again It's your birthday. I finally see To let you go is the only way to really help you fly But I'd rather hold on tight You are a shining star A bright spot in the universe While things here go from bad to worse So dark what lonely people do Take too much, take too fast, eat too much I wish there could be more of your kind Grow strong, we'll ride along It's your birthday
