F I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown Gm Red roses on linen F I stood three feet from the ground A7 The grownups laughed inside Dm Used words I didn't know A7 But still I enjoyed the show Gm They looked so lovely F They looked so self-assured Gm And I just like them F Would know it all when I matured Dm And no longer be afraid of the darkness or the bears A7 Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs
Gm Well, I've just gotten older Am I've just gotten taller A7 And the little ones D Call me a grownup Gm Last night at a friend's house F A little girl was there F She stood in the doorway playing with her hair Dm She looked up at me as if I could do no wrong A7 As I stood to sing my song Gm I sang it with a shiver F In my throat and in my knees Gm Feeling just as small F As a thistle in a breeze A7 But the child's imagination Dm Carried me along A7 And saw me through my song Gm See, I've just gotten older Am I've just gotten taller A7 And the little ones Gm
