Grown Up Now

(album: Massachusetts - 2013)

It's a big mean world, how many times I've told you?
But if you don't believe in magic the meaner it will seem
That my mistakes be the biggest one you shoulder
Make your dreams triumph my dreams.

You still never cease to amaze me,
You made yourself some plans and you've got somewhere to go
Our time together these days is like aging,
I just wish we could all age slow.

'Cause you're a grown-up now, a grown-up now,
A grown-up now, and the 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 thought me right.

'Cause you're a grown-up now, a grown-up now,
A grown-up now, and the future looks so bright.

And there's a picture of me when I was younger
Sitting on a big net table, with the same eyes that you have now.
And then I had you and your brothers and we were just babies
So I don't know how you're a grown up now.

Y ou're a grown-up now, a grown-up now,
A grown-up now, and the future looks so bright,
So bright, so bright, so bright, so bright.
And the future looks so bright.
