[Verse 1]
Help me to slow down, baby
Help me to take it all in
You've got your talents, baby
That's just one of them
When did the clock start to speed up?
Hands dizzily spin
Didn't the sun just come up
And go down again?

[Chorus]
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up too fast
How we gonna make
How we gonna make this last?
And I know it's hard to find the time
But I know it's what we got to find
Because the kids are growing up
The kids are growing up

[Verse 2]
How do we stop them, baby?
Isn't there something we can do?
Aren't we the ones in charge?
Aren't they breaking some kind of rule?
Would it be so wrong, baby
If we could just stop the time?
I want to stay in this moment
For more than a little while
[Chorus]
Because the kids are growing up
The kids are growing up too fast
How we gonna make
How we gonna make this last?
And I know it's hard to find the time
But I know it's what we got to find
Because the kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up

[Bridge]
Help me to slow down, baby
Help me to take it all in
You've got your talents, baby
That's just one of them

[Chorus]
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up too fast
How we gonna make
How we gonna make this last?
Seems like the kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
The kids are growing up
