Don't
ever lose a child in you
I don't know what I'd do if you did
And if the end result
is that you must grow up
Please keep it hidden
deep within the child in you
A girl grows up to be a woman
A boy grows up to be a man
It's been said that
you're only young once
So enjoy it while you can
You can keep your eyes wide open
And keep your innocence intact
It won't seem, the world around you
won't seem as frightful
That's a matter of fact, fact
Don't ever lose a child in you
I don't know what I'd do if you did
And if the en d result
is that you must grow up
Please keep it hidden
deep within the child in you
Try to learn to do a lot of things,
try to think before you speak,
be brave and strong.
Be brave and strong but remember,
crying doesn't always
mean you're weak.
Make a lot of friends along the way,
don't be afraid to be alone.
Count your blessings
when you float to school,
for you know it you'll be grown.
I won't attempt to try to tell you
How to live your life,
but still I hope you run
I hope you run and play
and stay a kid forever
If you don't know what else to do
Well, well, well
Don't ever lose the child in you
I don't know what
I'd do if you did
And if the end result
is that you must go on
Don't wanna be a dog
if that's what you mean
There's a storm,
it's something we all
have to deal with
Please keep it hidden,
deep within the child in you
Oh, please keep it hidden,
deep within the child in you
You
