You're a big girl now

Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me right off my feet.
And I'm back in the rain
And you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singing this song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Singing just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singing through these tears

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
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 learning it these days
But I know where I can find you
In somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl, all the way
