Carrie Newcomer - Amelia Almost 13 lyrics

We've been so close together Close from the start And as you learn to walk away Take care of your heart And don't forget your prayers And whatever you do Whoever, wherever you are I'll love you You're all crushes and blushes And brushes with insight But you still sleep with our bears But you still sleep with your bears Half of the nights When you're ready and willing And you're of the right mind The right teachers come along Most of the time You were born in the morning In the quiet place You were born in the morning To take my place We've been so close together Close from the start And Damn the first man Who comes to break your heart Your all long legs and long hair And big wide eyes With a hundred million questions And a thousand hundred whys And I wish I had the answers But the best that I can give Is to be a safe place for you As long as I live Cause sometimes as a grown up My strength is all sapped And I'd give anything to sit in my own mother's lap Bt she's long gone and long missed The best that I can do Is the love that she would have given to me I'll give to you As far as I can tell As far as I have seen You couldn't pay me enough To go back to thirteen When you girls find out And get wise to the rules And young women stand up And honey, so will you You were born in the morning In the quiet place You were born in the morning To take my place We've been so close together Close from the start And Damn the first man Who comes to break your heart
