And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming

So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight

To you everything's funny
对你来说,世界上一切事物都如此有趣
You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have honey

If you could stay like that

And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off

At 14 there's just so much you can't do

Someday and call your own shots

Remember she's getting older too
你要记得,她也在慢慢老去
And don't lose the way that you dance

Around in your PJs getting ready for school

Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps remember the words said

And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone

In a big city they just dropped me off
他们开车把我带到这个大城市里
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
