[English]

I'm a big, big girl

In a big, big world

It's not a big, big thing

If you leave me

But I do, do feel

That I do, do will

Miss you much

Miss you much

...

I can see the first leaf falling

It's all yellow and nice

It's so very cold outside

Like the way I'm feeling inside

I'm a big, big girl

In a big, big world

It's not a big, big thing

If you leave me

But I do, do feel

That I do, do will

Miss you much

Miss you much

...

Outside, it's now raining

And tears are falling from my eyes

Why did it have to happen?

Why did it all have to end?

I'm a big, big girl

In a big, big world

It's not a big, big thing

If you leave me

But I do, do feel

That I do, do will

Miss you much

Miss you much

I have your arms around me

Warm like fire

But when I open my eyes

You're gone

I'm a big, big girl

In a big, big world

It's not a big, big thing

If you leave me

But I do, do feel

That I do, do will

Miss you much

Miss you much

I'm a big, big girl

In a big, big world

It's not a big, big thing

If you leave me

But I do feel I will

Miss you much

Miss you much

...
