Introduction

Verse 1 (0:12)
A gentle cry echoes down the hall
Sleep on my chest and rest through the night
Every year another candle goes dark
Nigh is the day you’ll have to learn to fight

Verse 2 (0:32)
My plea is for purpose, never based on cliché
Please, never grow old, for the process has begun
Your body will bend, and your heart will skip a beat
Your pain starts as this song is sung

Refrain 1 (0:52)
How do I stop time
Reverse the day to day
Because of what I already know, your future
Is never going to be okay

Refrain 2 (1:02)
As days become dark
My fears drown into a cup
I beg the sun not to rise – as I cry:
Please don’t ever grow up
…our world is about to turn upside down

Verse 3 (1:32)
She’s so tired, awashed in unforgivable pain
Helpless as I watch, I’ve learned not to feel
Imagine if her age was still at year eight
Back then a healthy girl, and none of this would be real

Bridge (1:52)
I can tragically say
If my girls didn’t need me
This life isn’t worth one more day
Oh, but the irony

The closer I love
The darker I become
As my soul grows dim
Please pass my light onto them

Verse 4/5 (2:15)
I can’t hear your laugh
I can’t see your smile
I’ll hold you in my arms
Just rest your head for a while

Verse 4/5 (2:25)
Where is all of the joy
Am I on my final mile
Wipe the tear from my eye
It’s not fair…I know, my child

Refrain 1 (2:40)
How do I stop time
Reverse the day to day
Because of what I already know, your future
Is never going to be okay

Refrain 2 (2:50)
As days become dark
My fears drown into a cup
I beg the sun not to rise – as I cry:
Please don’t ever grow up
…our world is about to turn upside down

Ending (3:20)
I beg the sun not to rise
Please don’t ever grow up
I beg the sun not to rise
Please don’t ever grow up
I beg the sun not to rise
Please don’t ever grow up
I beg the sun not to rise
Please don’t ever grow up
