Little boy wishes he wasn`t small
He`d give his turtle to be six feet tall
He`s got photos of Shaq and Ewing up on his wall
And he`d try a jump shot but he`s afraid he`ll down
Little girl wants to fall in love
Dressed like her mother in white evening gloves
She pretends, tells her friends she`s got somewhere to go
They don`t ask where so they`ll never know she feels
With a shorter past there`s a greater hurry
Let the moment last, there`s no need to worry
We should be living for today or tomorrow anyway
And don`t ask for the world on a plate `cause you just might get it
Don`t ever say it`s too late, you know you`ll regret it because
Just when you think you`re sure, your life can change right before your eyes
A mother`s thinking of her little boy
Left home at sixteen back in `84
He`s got a dog named Lucy says she`s all that he needs
Lucy knows better she hears all his dreams
When you search yourself, when you get down to it
If you know yourself, you know you`ll get through it
So start living for today or tomorrow anyway
And don`t ask for the world on a plate `cause you just might get it
Don`r ever it`s too late you know you`ll regret it because
Just when you`re sure your life can change right before your eyes
With a shorter past there`s a greater hurry
Don`t grow too fast there`s no need to worry
Start living for today or tomorrow anyway...
Just when you`re sure your life can change right before your eyes
Right before your eyes
