Don’t Turn the Page

Mm-mm

Whoa-oh

Yeah

Giggles in the hallway, the footsteps on the stairs

The silly little questions about why and how and where

I know he's grown up, I watch it every day

But tonight he's here, and we're gonna play

I'm holding him close while his hand fits mine

'Cause this little version will fade with time

He doesn't know he's changing, doesn't feel the clock

But I hear it every time I hear him talk

A little less baby and a little more boy

And every single version is my greatest joy

Don't turn the page let me live right here

Where his voice is high and his heart has no fear

Where his dad's a hero and the world is kind

Before he leaves this innocence behind

Just one more night of little whispers in my ear

Of daddy, don't go yet, and daddy, stay right here

Mm, mm, yeah

Bath time, bedtime stories that we share

Fading into memories and I can't bear

The way the days are moving like they got somewhere to be

But the only place that matters isn't right here with me

He wakes up every morning, turns a brand new page

New words, new laughs a whole new stage

And I'm trying to hold water with these open hands

Watching my little boy slowly become a man

One more morning where he climbs into my laps

One more bedtime story, one more giggle, one more nap, I know

I can't freeze it, I know time won't stop

But I'll soak up every second of every single drop

Ah, don't turn the page, let me live right here

Where his voice is high and his heart has no fear

Where his dad's a hero and the world is kind

Before he leaves this innocence behind

Just one more night of little whispers in my ear

Of daddy, don't go yet, and daddy, stay right here

Oh

Uh, uh

So I'm holding every moment like it's made of glass

Before these giggles are a thing of the past

Every morning is a goodbye I cannot see

Every night, I hold the boy he used to be

Don't turn the page, let me live right here

Where his voice is high and his heart has no fear

Where his dad's a hero and the world is kind

Before he leaves this innocence behind

Just one more night of little whispers in my ear

Of daddy, don't go yet, and daddy, stay right here
