The Child in You Songtext
von Peter Holsapple & Chris Stamey

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 grow up
Please keep it hidden deep within the child in you

The girl grows up to be a woman
The 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
Keep your innocence intact
(It won′t see)
The world around you won′t seem as black
Oh, that's a matter of fact, fact

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 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 feel to
Before 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, no one else will
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 grow up
Go on and be adults if that′s what you really want
It's something we all have to do

Please keep it hidden deep within the child in you
Oh, please keep it hidden deep within the child in you
