Lyrics How You've Grown - 10,000 Maniacs

How You've Grown

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
