Can we go back to when we first met
I was crying and you kissed my head
So many good things in my life I know have happened since
I do my best to try and never forget
But as I get older
You get older too
And some things we can't help but lose
Well that I can handle
Some pain I can do
But nobody said I'd lose you
They say goodbye is a part of growing up
But tell me why, why we can't just stay young
Took all my life to find this kind of love
Love
I need more time, I just haven't had enough
But I have to grow up
I walked with you 'til you couldn't stand
Because of you I am who I am
So many things I've learned from you
I swear you've made me a man
What I would give to keep on holding your hand
But as I get older
Well you do the same
And growing up brings us some pain
I want you forever
At least one more day
But growing up means we can't stay
They say goodbye is a part of growing up
But tell me why, why we can't just stay young
Took all my life to find this kind of love
Love
I need more time, I just haven't had enough
But I have to grow up
And time, time isn't kind to those who love
Bye, saying goodbye isn't what I want
I, I never thought it would be this tough
Why, why do we all have to grow up
