"Your little hands wrapped around my fingerAnd it's so quiet in the world tonightYour little eyelids flutter cause you're dreamingSo I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light"
"grate movie, wasn't it Noah?" I say as the credits start to roll,But I get no answers
"Noah?" I turn around and I saw my sister asleep with her head on the sofa arm,her hand around mine and with her thumb in her mouth. Even though she's nine she still does that.
Her eyelids flutter cause she's dreaming, I smile wondering what she's seeing.
I pick her up and lead her in her room,then I tuck her in and turn her night light on cause she's afraid of the dark.
"To you everything's funnyYou've got nothing to regretI'd give all I have honeyIf you could stay like that"
This has been a long day,mom and dad went to Tennessee so I had to stay with her,and...well let's just say that she is a little too energic . To her everything is a joke, she can't stand still for a minute, but who can blame her, she is a kid,and like every kid she is a nuisance. While she is sleeping,she seem so peaceful, she doesn't have any problem and she'sgot nothing to regret. If only I could do something and stop her from growing up
"Oh darling don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow upJust stay this littleOh darling don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow upIt could stay this simple"
I wish she would never grow up, why does she have to?
In her world everything is possible, for her every wish will become true.
"I wont let nobody hurt youWont let no one break your heartNo one will desert youJust try to never grow up"
I know that life is a gift from god,but sometimes it can be really hard. She doesn't know it yet . She doesnt know how it feels to be hurt by the ones you love the most,no guy ever broke her heart leaving a hole in it.
"You're in the car on the way to the moviesAnd you're mortified your mom is dropping you offAt 14 there is just so much you cant doAnd you cant wait to move out someday and call your own shotsBut don't make her drop you off around the blockRemember that she's getting older tooDon't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school"
She always says that she is a woman, she complains every time mom drops her off,
but at the and she can't go a day with out her,i bet that when she'll her own place she will come back here with a big basket of dirty clothes just like me.
I just realized how much me and Noah are alike, when I was little I couldn't wait to move out,back then I would dance around with my eyes closed wondering what life would bring, she still dances getting ready for school, I taught hear well. Now that I think about it I havent dances in my pj's for a long time,i miss it ,it was fun.
"And no one's every burned youNothing's ever left you scarredAnd even though you want toJust try to never grow up"
she wants so much to grow, but she doesn't realize that growing up means going through things that leave you a permanent mark,a mark that helps you learn,but in the most painful way. Cause this is how life teaches you things,by leaving you scars and burns.
"Take pictures in your mindOf your childhood roomMemorize what it sounded likeWhen your dad gets homeRemember the footstepsRemember the words saidAnd all your little brother's favorite songs"
I hope she'll never takes a moment for granted, I hope she's grateful for everything she has,
because, once she's grown, this days will be the reason of her happiness,cause one day she wont hear dad come back home anymore, she wont hear all of the noise that we make at the dinner table and the most tragic thing is that as soon as she realize it, it's gonna be gone.
"So here I am in my new apartmentIn a big city, they just dropped me offIt's so much colder than I thought it would beSo I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight onWish I'd never grown upI wish I'd never grown upOh I don't wanna grow upWish I'd never grown upCould still be littleOh I dont wanna grow upWish I'd never grown upIt could still be simple"
I don't know what's so beautiful in be an adult,when I was a child a lived here, and since we were in seven,
there always was a lot of noise,but there was also lots of happiness.
Now, my house is empty, there's no noises, no footsteps, nothing. This is why,every time that I have the chance I come back in here. But I wont tell her that cause a part of childhood is dreaming about how great your future will be, I don't wanna crash her dreams.
"Oh darling don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow upJust stay this littleOh darling don't you ever grow upDon't you ever grow upIt could stay this simple"
A hour went by, so I decided to stop staring at Noah and go home.
I'm walking to the door and I hear "miley, will we have a day like today again?"she whisper sleepy "only if you do my a favor" I say
"what favor" she ask
"Please try to never grow up" and with that I let her sleep and went back home.
"Don't you ever grow upNever grow up
Please try to never grow up"
