How You've Grown

How You've Grown - 10,000 Maniacs

Written by：Merchant Natalie

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 a

S 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

He never were

Every time we say goodbye you're frozen in my mind

As a child that you never will be

Will be again
