"Don't Grow Up Too Fast" lyrics

You're getting on a plane and leaving
I hope you're staying not too far
Coz all those dreams I had were real ones
But something got in the way
Time it just couldn't wait

So don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past
As long as you never change who you are
I'll know that in your heart
You're never far

Oh
Got so caught up in 'all the used to be's'
Forgot to look into the now's
I'm proud of you I'll say
Though I'm still stuck in childish ways
Those memories that we made
I know they play in your brain

Oh
Don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past
As long as you never change who you are
I'll know that in your heart
You're never far

I guess I thought there'd be more time for us to spend
Just like how it used to be
Turning moments to history

But there I go again reminiscing far too much
It's time I move on
Just know my love will stay strong

Oh, don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past
As long as you never change who you are
I'll know that in your heart
I'll know that in your heart

Don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past
Coz times will change but
That don't mean you have to
I can't grow up without
I can't grow up without
You
