The Night Before They Grow lyrics
Tomorrow you turn eight, or ten, or seventeenTonight I watch you sleep in betweenThe child you are and the one you'll beI'm standing on the edge of your historyTomorrow comes so fastI'm holding onto tonight, trying to make it lastThe night before they growWhen everything is still and soft and slowI sit beside your bed and watch you breatheAnd love you more than you will ever needThe night before they growI straighten out your blanket, move your hairKiss your forehead like I've always caredI think about who you were at twoAnd who you'll be when I'm watching youTomorrow comes so fastSo let me have tonight, let this night lastThe night before they growWhen everything is still and soft and slowI sit beside your bed and watch you breatheAnd love you more than you will ever needThe night before they growYou won't remember, that's okayThese vigils are for me, not youEvery year I lose a versionAnd every year I fall in love with who is newThe night before they growI let myself feel everything I knowThe night before they grow
