How You`ve Grown Lyrics

How You`ve Grown

[ Merchant ]
[ viola: Mary Ramsey ] 

"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.
