What I wish tonight

"Never Grow Up"

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

Sappy to some, I know (Deanna), but tonight as I tucked my daughter into bed, I had to hold back my tears. She is growing up and she's not even 2. It feels like just last week she was bouncing up and down in the door way and getting mashed carrots all over her face. Now she is running all over the place, walking herself into Nursery, knocking on the door telling me she wants to go to "grama & pops " house. My words can't due my emotions justice. I will just have to settle for this verse and chorus.
For tonight I will wish to dream of my daughter and to keep the memories of the past 20 months vivid in my mind.
