Natalie Merchant - How You've Grown [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
"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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Every time we say goodbye
You're frozen in my mind
As the child that you never will be
You never will be again
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
Will be again
