How You Ve Grown lyrics

HOW YOU`VE GROWN

`my, how you`ve grown`
I remember that phrase
from my childhood days too
`just wait and see`
I remember those words and how they chided me
when patient was the hardest thing to be
because we can`t make up
for the time that we`ve lost
I must let these memories provide
no little girl can stop her world to wait for me
I should have known
at your age, in a string of days the year is gone
but in that space of time it takes so long
because we can`t make up
for the time that we`ve lost
I must let those memories provide
no little girl can stop her world to wait for me
every time we say goodbye
you`re frozen in my mind
as the child that you never will be
you never will be again
I`ll never be more to you than a stranger could be
every time we say goodbye
you`re frozen in my mind
as a child that you never will be
will be again
