You're a Big Girl Now (Live at Hughes Stadium, Ft. Collins, CO - May 1976) Lyrics

Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly knocked me off of 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, sittin' on a fence
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
And singin' just for you

I hope you can hear
Hear me singin' through these tears

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days
Oh, 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

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last
Well, I manage, I swear
I see what you can do

I can make it through
You can make it too

A change in the weather is always extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind
Hey, with a pain that stops and starts

Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart
