Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming

你的小眼皮轻轻颤动，因为你在做梦

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite nightlight

所以我把你塞进被窝，打开你最喜欢的小夜灯

To you, everything's funny

对你来说，一切都那么有趣

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

You're in the car, on the way to the movies

And you're mortified your mom's droppin' you off

At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do

And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

And don't lose the way that you dance around

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
