How you've grown [German translation]

"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
