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 never will be

You never will be again.



I'll never be

Be more to you than a stranger could be

Everytime we say goodbye

You're frozen in my mind

As the child that you never will be

You never will be again.
