Do They Have to Grow Up

Lyrics

Look at all the children Innocent at play Never understanding They won't always be that way We must learn to treasure Each day of their lives They grow up so quickly Before we realize Do they have to grow up? Do they have to grow up? Do they have to grow up, so soon? Do they have to grow up? (Look at all the children) Do they have to grow up? (They're your only children) Do they have to grow up, so soon? (Won't always be children) Don't be in such a hurry Or one day you will find You missed out on their laughter 'Cause you did not take the time So hold your children closely Let your true love show These moments will be over And you'll have to let them go Do they have to grow up? (Look at all the children) Do they have to grow up? (They're your only children) Do they have to grow up, so soon? (Won't always be children) Do they have to grow up? (Look at all the children) Do they have to grow up? (They're your only children) Do they have to grow up, so soon? (Won't always be children)
