(J. Spinks)





GROWING UP AIN'T EASY

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU?RE YOUNG

AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS OLDER THAN THEIR YEARS

AND GROWING UP AIN'T EASY

WHEN THE ONLY GIRL YOU WANT

LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU JUST DISAPPEARED



BUT YOU KEEP HOLDING ON

TO EVERY LITTLE THING THAT SHE'S DONE

AND IF YOU?RE CHANCE CAME ALONG

YOU'D MAKE IT CLEAR



HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY



GROWING UP AIN'T EASY

WHEN TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE

AND YOU?RE WISHING THAT THESE TIMES WOULD PASS YOU BY

EVERYTIME A DOOR IS OPENED

THERE?S NOTHING ON THE OTHER SIDE

JUST ANOTHER DOOR FOR YOU TO TRY AND FIND



BUT YOU KEEP HOLDING ON

AND HOPING THAT YOU'RE TIMES GONNA COME

AND SHE CAN DO NOTHING WRONG

YOU MAKE IT CLEAR



HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY



BUT YOU KEEP HOLDING ON

TO EVERY LITTLE THING THAT SHE'S DONE

AND IF YOU'RE CHANCE CAME ALONG

YOU'D MAKE IT CLEAR



HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

HOLD ME CLOSE CLOSE YOUR EYES

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY



DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
