Lyrics
Growing Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your life begins when teardrops start, a broken toy, a broken heart
All of these things are just a part of growing up
From kiddie cars to walking shoes from lullabyes to lonely blues
Somehow you never quite get used to growing up
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah Yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.
The wheel of fortune takes a spin
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you must play the game again
Drink another cup,You're growing up.
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up.
To be a man, to be a woman to understand, takes a lot of growing, growing up
You'll live to learn, you'll learn to live, you'll give to love your love to give
And when you're wise enough you'll know, you're growing up
