Growing Up |
| FRANK |
| Thanks, old friends |
| Keep reminding me |
| Frank’s old friends always seem to come through |
| Frank will, too… |
| So, old friends, now it’s time to start growing up |
| Taking charge, seeing things as they are |
| Facing facts, not escaping them |
| Still with dreams, just reshaping them |
| Growing up… |
| Charley is a hothead |
| Charley won’t budge |
| Charley is a friend |
| Charley is a screamer |
| Charley won’t bend |
| Charley’s in your corner |
| Mary is a dreamer |
| Mary’s a friend |
| Mary is a nudge |
| Mary is a purist |
| Charley’s a judge |
| Charley is a dropout |
| Everything’s a cop-out |
| Why is it old friends don’t want old friends to change? |
| Every road has a turning |
| That’s the way you keep learning |
| So, old friends, don’t you see we can have it all? |
| Moving on, getting out of the past |
| Solving dreams, not just trusting them |
| Taking dreams, readjusting them |
| Growing up… |
| Growing up… |
| Trying things, being flexible |
| Bending with the road |
| Adding dreams when the others don’t last |
| Growing up |
| Understanding that growing never ends |
| Like old dreams |
| Some old dreams… |
| Like old friends |
| GUSSIE |
| Life is knowing what you want, darling |
| That’s the only thing to… know |
| As I told you moons ago, darling |
| Nothing wrong with wanting |
| Nothing wrong with wanting me, darling |
| Also nothing wrong with… not |
| Though it’s only fair that |
| You should be aware that |
| I want you a lot |
| Growing up |
| Means admitting the things you want the most |
| Can’t pursue every possible line |
| Folding tents, making choices |
| Ignoring all other voices |
| Including mine |
| You’re divine |
| You decide on what you want, darling |
| Not on what you think you… should |
| Not on what you want to want, darling |
| Not from force of habit |
| Once it’s clearly understood, darling |
| Better go and grab it |
| Things can slip away for good, darling |
| What is it you really… hmm? |
