They have to grow up, we all do, and it happens so fast! I'm always begging them to 'PLEASE STOP GROWING UP AND GETTING BIG' but it's the way it goes. whenever i hear this song i think of their sweet innocent faces and how the world hasn't damaged them or broken their hearts yet.and i hope it never will.but it's innevitable sometimes. I don't have children but i do have little neice's that i adore and love. Cannot listen to it without crying or at least tearing up. Tara from Hicksville, NyI love love this song.I wonder how she does that into a song we cannot even express in words YOU ARE MY BIGGEST FAN TAYLOR love ya. she shares her special feeling with her audience. Parvin Nina from Selangor, MalaysiaFor me this song is so unique it actually shares a story of a small kid in Taylor's eyes.I remember not very long ago when one of them could only communicate with babbles and cries, and just a few days ago he spent half an hour telling me a (probably mostly exaggerated) story, and I understood nearly every word he said.Īnyway, I forgot where I was going with this, and it turned into a rambling mess, but basically, kids grow up too fast, and this song makes me cry. Their younger siblings (the other kids I babysit, for the most part) aren't trying to grow up too fast, but they're still growing up faster than I can believe. The oldest 2 of the kids I've babysat especially seem to want to grow up faster than they already are, and I want to tell them to just be kids for a while longer. It was the first time I had heard this song (this happened 4 years ago (ish)), and even now whenever I hear it, I think of that kid, along with the other kids I babysit, and it hits me just how fast they're growing up. Cam from Denver, ColoradoThey played this song at a preschool graduation I went to for a kid I babysit.This song has very touching lyrics and today is a day I will remember forever. We spent the next 6 hours together decorating and setting up her new home away from home. We both were quietly crying as we pulled onto the campus. I had never heard the song before and it took a few minutes to realize that she had planned and timed this perfectly. Mary from Long Island, NyToday, when we got off the exit to my daughter's college (she's a freshman and will be living in a dorm on campus), she switched the music we were listening to and put this song on.AnonymousIt's true that all of us tend to think about growing up as kids, but when we are finally grown up and when it's time for us to start new, we unconsciously think of our old days, when we used to think about just nothing and enjoy the time as it is, with no restrictions and responsibilities.

Ava from San Francisco, CaliforniaThis song makes me cry every time but I still love it.I always say that I'm growing up while staying young forever :) Won't let no one break your heart.Īnd even though you want to, please try to never grow up'

You've got your whole life to be an adult, so cherish what you got now before it's too late. Don't grow up too fast, part of who you are is who you made yourself to be in your adolescent years and wanting to skip ahead seems like you haven t truly discovered yourself just yet. Truth is, they have it way easy compared to what I had some 10 years ago. Seriously though, nowadays I see these young people whining about wanting to be an adult already and complaining how they are getting it hard in society nowadays. 'I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone.' Things are constantly changing, sometimes faster than we want, but they're happening. We feel comfortable with the usual thing and are a little anxious and nervous when changes happens. People who know me well enough know that I try my best to not change things. I lived in the same city for 18 years then 3 years ago I leave my mom to go to college. So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on It's so much colder than I thought it would be I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone Remember the footsteps, remember the words saidĪnd all your little brother's favorite songs Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room You're in the car on the way to the moviesĪnd you're mortified your mom's droppin' you offĪt fourteen, there's just so much you can't doĪnd you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shotsīut don't make her drop you off around the blockĪround in your PJs getting ready for school So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin' Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
