Grown Up Now

It’s a big mean world.

How many times I’ve told you

That if you don’t believe in magic

The meaner it will seem.

May my mistakes

Be the biggest ones you’ve shouldered.

Make your dreams triumph

My dreams…

You still never cease to amaze me.

You’ve made yourself some plans

And you’ve got somewhere to go.

Our time together these days is (?)engaging(?)

I just wish we could all age slow…

But you’re a grown up now,

Grown up now.

Grown up now,

And your future looks so bright.

Every now and then

You still look like a baby.

Most of the time you’re still

the best damn thing in my whole life.

And I’ll never give you half

of what you gave me.

I think it’s fair to say

“Kid, you taught me right”…

Cause you’re a grown up now,

Grown up now.

Grown up now,

And the future looks so bright.

So bright,

so bright…

And there’s a picture of me when I was younger

Sittin’ on a picnic table

With the same eyes that you have now.

And then I had you and your brothers

And we were just babies.

So I sure don’t know how

You’re a grown up now.

That you’re a grown up now,

Grown up now.

You’re a grown up now,

And your future looks so bright.

Oh so bright, so bright.

So bright, so bright.

So bright, so bright…...

Your future looks so bright.
