Don't Grow Up Too Fast

Don’t grow up too fast little girl, little girl

Daddy’s cherished darling, Mommy’s precious pearl

Leave your dearest dollies scattered everywhere

Childhood is the nearest thing to heaven earth can share

Don’t grow up too fast, little boy, little boy

Mommy’s happy helper, daddy’s pride and joy

Leave your trucks and tractors scattered as you go

Childhood is the nearest thing to heaven earth can know
