"My, how you've grown."
  C#m                          E              A      E
I remember that phrase from my childhood days too.
E              F#m
"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    Amaj7
I must let these memories provide.
          A                 E                 Amaj7      E
No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.


E             F#m
I should have known.
        C#m                 E                A
At your age, in a string of days the year is gone.
    C#m              E                 Amaj7
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    Amaj7
I must let these memories provide.
          A                 E                 Amaj7        E
No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.


E             F#m
Every time we say goodbye
A             B                 C#m            B          A
you're frozen in my mind as the child that you never will be,
A            E        Amaj7
   you never will be again.

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