Phil Spillman - You Grew Up Lyrics




How can you say that you're ever ready
To take on those little feet and oh, so little hands
Sure you're the captain trying to hold the ship steady
But you ain't got no map, you ain't got no plan

Thank God I was young with some vigor
Cause' you always found ways to take my breath away
No doubt you made me grow up quicker
Now what's a dad to do, whats a dad to say

Somewhere between the sleepless nights and cries
Somewhere between the endless questions of why
Somewhere between always keeping open one eye
You grew up

How can you say that you're ever ready
For when fairy tales and ponies take a back seat
I'll tell you it hits awful heavy
When you blink and find a woman where a girl used to be

Somewhere between your first smile and first word
Somewhere between that smirk that you learned
Somewhere between needing me at every turn
You grew up

How can you say that you're ever ready
To hand over the one thing you swore to protect
This captains tired but the ship stayed steady
Now he's got your hand, I swear I won't object

Somewhere between learning to fall and learning to fly
Somewhere between bedside prayers and have good dreams tonight
Somewhere between the breaths that give us life
You grew up
