Pete Hamill - You're A Big Girl Now lyrics

[Verse 1] Our conversation was short and sweet It nearly swept me off-a my feet And I'm back in the rain, oh, oh And you are on dry land You made it there somehow You're a big girl now [Verse 2] Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence He's singing his song for me at his own expense And I'm just like that bird, oh, oh Singing just for you I hope that you can hear Hear me singing through these tears [Verse 3] Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last I can change, I swear, oh, oh See what you can do I can make it through You can make it too [Verse 4] Love is so simple, to quote a phrase You've known it all the time, I'm learning it these days Oh, I know where I can find you, oh, oh In somebody's room It's a price I have to pay You're a big girl all the way [Verse 5] A change in the weather is known to be extreme But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream? I'm going out of my mind, oh, oh With a pain that stops and starts Like a corkscrew to my heart Ever since we've been apart
