Lyrics

[00:20.93] "My, how you've grown."
[00:26.13] I remember that phrase from my childhood days too.
[00:34.94] "Just wait and see." “
[00:40.15] I remember those words and how they chided me,
[00:46.91] when patient was the hardest thing to be.
[00:54.70] Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,
[01:02.66] I must let these memories provide.
[01:09.67] No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.
[01:19.13] I should have known.
[01:25.07] At your age,
[01:27.17] in a string of days the year is gone.
[01:31.94] But in that space of time,
[01:35.22] it takes so long.
[01:38.97] Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,
[01:46.60] I must let those memories provide.
[01:55.59] No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.
[02:02.97] Every time we say goodbye you're frozen in my mind
[02:09.38] as the child that you never will be,
[02:16.02] you never will be again.
[02:44.20] I'll never be more to you
[02:55.03] than a stranger could be.
[03:00.31] Every time we say goodbye you're frozen in my mind
[03:06.17] as the child that you never will be,
[03:12.10] you never will be again.
[03:19.33] Every time we say goodbye you're frozen in my mind
[03:25.50] as the child that you never will be,
[03:31.12] will be again.
