"My, how you've grown." 
  C#m                          E              A      E
I remember that phrase from my childhood days too. 
E              A
"Just wait and see." 
  C#m                      E               A
I remember those words and how they chided me, 
     C#m             E                A
when patient was the hardest thing to be.

Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,
B                C#m         A      E    A
I must let these memories provide. 
          A                 E                 A        E
No little girl can stop her world to wait for me. 

 
E             A
I should have known. 
        C#m                 E                A
At your age, in a string of days the year is gone. 
    C#m              E                 A
But in that space of time, it takes so long. 


B                C#m             E               B                      
Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,
B                C#m         A      E    A
I must let these memories provide. 
          A                 E                 A        E
No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.

Every time we say goodbye 
C#m           B                 C#m            B          A
you're frozen in my mind as the child that you never will be,
A            E        A
   you never will be again.

I'll never be 
   C#m                E              A    E
Be more to you than a stranger could be.
