You’re a Big Girl Now

Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me off-a my feet

And I'm back here in the rain

Oh and you are on dry land

You made it there somehow

You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence

He's singin' a song for me at his own expense

And I'm just like that bird

Oh singin' just for you

I hope that you can hear

Hear me singin' through these tears

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Oh, but what is the use of changing if all we've shared can't last

I can change, I swear

Oh see what you can do

I can make it through

You can make it too

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase

You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days

Oh, I know I can find you

Oh in somebody's room

It's a price I have to pay

You're a big girl all the way

A change in the weather is known to be extreme

What's the use of changing horses in midstream

I'm going out of my mind

Oh with a pain that stops and starts

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we've been apart
