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 these 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'll never will be   You never will be again      I'll never be   Be more to you than a stranger could be      Every time we say goodbye   You're frozen in my mind   As the child that you'll never will be   You'll never will be again      Every time we say goodbye   You're frozen in my mind   As the child that you'll never will be   Will be again
