I can't grow ten miles tall
But I want to
I can't bounce the moon like a ball
But I want to
I want to spread my arms across the sky
And reach so far that birds pass by
Because someday I know you'll fly away from me
And I can't hold you back
But I want to

I can't blow back the tide
But I want to
I can't surf a landslide
But I want to
I want to freeze this time up just like snow
And live here like an eskimo
Because someday I know you'll grow right out of my life
And I can't hold you back
But I want to

BRIDGE
Change comes fast
Life twists and bends
But my love for you never ends

I can't give you the sun
But I want to
I can't be everyone
But I want to
There is another world you'll want to know
You'll feel it's pull like undertow
And when it's time I'll let you go
I can't hold you back
But I want to
