LAST NIGHT A LITTLE GIRL GREW UP
(John Marshall)


Jody Miller - 1963



Last night a little girl grew up
Last night a happy girl learned how to cry
Last night a foolish girl became a bit wiser
I know for that girl was I

I loved him all my life and I was thrilled 
By his smile and his touch
And all of my life I just assumed
Well, I guess I assumed too much

Last night a little girl grew up
Last night a happy girl learned how to cry
Last night a foolish girl became a bit wiser
I know for that girl was I

I foolishly hoped it was me 
When he said he liked someone so
But he said I was just like his little sister 
And he wanted me to be the first to know

Last night a little girl grew up
Last night a happy girl learned how to cry
Last night a foolish girl became a bit wiser
I know for that girl was I
I know for that girl was I
