Verse 1
It ain't easy growing up
I need someone to hold my hand,

To walk me through it,
I can't do it,
On my own, I can barely stand.


Chorus
And I've learned so many things with you,

I've come so far,
Grown so much thanks to you,
Bright shining, guiding star,

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now,
Though I'll get by somehow,
Don't leave me now.


Verse 2
I'd be lost if left alone,

No clue where to go what to do.
I'd be frightened,
At the night's end,

If you didn't take me home with you.

(Chorus)


Bridge
Yes you have done a lot of showing,

But I'm not done with my share of growing.
Still trying to learn all there is to know,
But I've gotta go slow,

So take these baby steps with me.

La la la la, la la la la, la la la la,

La la la la, la la la la, la la la la,

(Chorus)


Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Though I'll get by somehow,

Don't leave me now.

Outro

It ain't easy, growing up,
I need someone to hold my hand.
