You're a Big Girl Now

Our conversation was short and sweet It nearly swept me Off of my feet And I'm back in the rain Oh, 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' his 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 a shame That all we've shared can't last And 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 where 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 But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream? And 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
