[Intro]

"My, how you've grown."

I remember that phrase from the childhood days, too


[Verse 1]

"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


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

Every time we say goodbye

You're frozen in my mind as the child that you never will be

You never will be again

(ohhhhhhhh)


[Tag]

I'll never be more to you than a stranger could be


[Chorus]

Every time we say goodbye

You're frozen in my mind as a child that you never will be

You never will be again


[Chorus]

Every time we say goodbye

You're frozen in my mind as the child that you never will be

Will be again
