Lyrics:

Growing up ain't easy
Especially when you're young
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
If your chance came along
You'd make it clear
Hold me close (hold me close)
Close your eyes (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
Every time 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
Hoping that you're times gonna come
She can do nothing wrong
You make it clear
Hold me close (hold me close)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Dance the night away

But you keep holding on
To every little thing that she's done
And if your chance came along
You'd make it clear
Hold me close (hold me close)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Dance the night away
Hold me close (hold me close)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
