歌词
制作人 : Deb Talan
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
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
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 Pa from the shelf
And he'll read it out loud though you could read it yourself
You're growing up you're growing up
Don't grow away from me
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
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
You're growing up
But don't grow away
Don't grow away
Don't grow away
Don't grow away
Don't grow away from me
