 (A high C played)
   "You see, I'm all grown up now."
 He  said,
 "Just put your feet down child,
 'Cause you're all grown up now."
 Just like a photograph,
 I pick you up.
 Just like a station  on the radio,
 I pick  you up.
 Just like a  face in the crowd,
 I pick you up.
 Just like a feeling  that you're sending out,
 I pick  it up.
 But I can't  let you go.
 If I  let you go,
 You  slip into the fog...
 This  love was big  enough for the both of us.
 This  love of yours was big enough  to be frightened  of.
 It's deep  and dark, like the water was,
 The day I  learned to swim.
 He said,
 "Just put your feet  down, child.
"Just  put your feet down  child,
 The water  is only waist  high.
 I'll let go  of you gently,
 Then you can swim to  me."
 Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big  enough to let go of me?
 Without hurting  me,
 Like the day  I learned to swim?
 "'Coz you're all grown  up now.
Just  put your feet down,  child,
 The water  is only waist  high.
 I'll let go of  you gently,
 Then you can swim to me."
