Be a Child as Long as You Can

Slow down, little dreamer. Don't go running off too fast.

There's magic in the front porch and the days that never last. There's mud pies

in the backyard. There's lightning bugs to chase. There's a whole world made of

wonder right there in your little face. And the grownups keep on saying

how the years slip through your hands. But you should be

a child for as long as you can. 'Cause the world

gets loud and the world gets heavy. Bills come due and the roads

get messy. But right now, you've got time and time's a friend.
