You're a Big Girl Now (Take 2)

Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me off my feet

And I’m back in the rain

Oh you are on dry land

Oh you made it there somehow

You’re a big girl now

Love is so simple to quote a phrase

You’ve known it all the while I’m learnin’ it these days

Oh I know where I can find you

In somebody’s room

Oh it’s a price I have to pay

You’re a big girl all the way

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

Oh 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 it is 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

A change in the weather can be extreme

But it is changing horses in midstream

I’m going out of my mind

Oh with a pain that stops and starts

Oh like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we’ve been apart
