Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me off-a my feet.

 And I'm back in the rain, oh

 And you are on dry land,

 You made it there somehow

[D7/f#] [D/f#]

You're a big girl now.

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on fence

He's singin' his song for me at his own expense

 And I'm just like that bird, oh,

 Singin' just for you

 I hope that you can hear,

[D7/f#] [D/f#]

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, oh,

 In somebody's room.

 It's a price I have to pay

[D7/f#] [D/f#]

You're a big girl all the way.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last.

 I can change, I swear, oh

 See what you can do,

 I can make it through,

[D7/f#] [D/f#]

You can make it too.

A change in the weather can be extreme

But it ain't like changing horses in midstream

 I'm going out of my mind, oh

 With a pain that stops and starts,

 Like a corkscrew to my heart

[D7/f#] [D/f#]

Ever since we've been apart.
