How You've Grown - 10,000 Maniacs

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
