Lyrics for 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 these 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'll never will be You never will be again I'll never be Be more to you than a stranger could be Every time we say goodbye You're frozen in my mind As the child that you'll never will be You'll never will be again Every time we say goodbye You're frozen in my mind As the child that you'll never will be Will be again
