Lyrics Grown up Now - Lori McKenna

Written & performed by Lori McKenna
(For her eldest son)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It s a big mean world.
How many times I ve told you
That if you don t believe in magic
The meaner it will seem.
May my mistakes
Be the biggest ones you ve shouldered.
Make your dreams triumph
My dreams
You still never cease to amaze me.
You ve made yourself some plans
And you ve got somewhere to go.
Our time together these days is (?)engaging(?)
I just wish we could all age slow
But you re a grown up now,
Grown up now.
Grown up now,
And your 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.

Of what you gave me.
I think it s fair to say
Kid, you taught me right
Cause you re a grown up now,
Grown up now.
Grown up now,
And the future looks so bright.
So bright,
So bright
And there s a picture of me when I was younger
Sittin on a picnic table
With the same eyes that you have now.
And then I had you and your brothers
And we were just babies.
So I sure don t know how
You re a grown up now.
That you re a grown up now,
Grown up now.
You re a grown up now,
And your future looks so bright.
Oh so bright, so bright.
So bright, so bright.
So bright, so bright ...
Your future looks so bright.
