Amelia Almost 13 Lyrics

[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e43324-carrie_newcomer~amelia_almost_13_lyrics.html ]01;'ve been so close together
Close from the start
And as you learn to walk away
Take care of your heart
And don't forget your prayers
And whatever you do
Whoever, wherever you are
I'll love you
You're all crushes and blushes
And brushes with insight
But you still sleep with our bears
But you still sleep with your bears
Half of the nights
When you're ready and willing
And you're of the right mind
The right teachers come along
Most of the time
You were born in the morning
In the quiet place
You were born in the morning
To take my place
We've been so close together
Close from the start
And Damn the first man
Who comes to break your heart
Your all long legs and long hair
And big wide eyes
With a hundred million questions
And a thousand hundred whys
And I wish I had the answers
But the best that I can give
Is to be a safe place for you
As long as I live
Cause sometimes as a grown up
My strength is all sapped
And I'd give anything to sit in my own mother's lap
Bt she's long gone and long missed
The best that I can do
Is the love that she would have given to me
I'll give to you
As far as I can tell
As far as I have seen
You couldn't pay me enough
To go back to thirteen
When you girls find out
And get wise to the rules
And young women stand up
And honey, so will you
You were born in the morning
In the quiet place
You were born in the morning
To take my place
We've been so close together
Close from the start
And Damn the first man
Who comes to break your heart
