lyrics

Chemistry and English
Are just part of the picture
You will grow up kind
You will grow up tall

Math and Spanish
Gym and Music
I cannot keep up
You’re getting so tall

Mark this day love
It’s passing so quick
And I want to remember
This very day love
It’s perfect

Biology and History
Tell me the things you want to be
Maybe an architect
Maybe a bus diver

Oh my god, your eyes are big
Bigger than I can stand
And when you stand up again
You’re already taller

Mark this day, love
It’s passing so quick
And I want to remember

I hold you to my chest
And you squeeze back tighter
You’re afraid of your teacher
And I’m afraid of this

You see she’s very nice love
But not everyone will be
And I can’t always be there
