All Grown Now Lyrics

By dean friedman

We were just barely out of school when we moved in together in a one room flat off riverside.
And in our tiny vestibule we embraced before we stepped outside,
To brave the cold, cold winds. our love begins.

Long afternoons we lay in bed, watching tv, reading romance novels, mysteries and magazines.
And who would've guessed just up ahead we would learn what pain and heartache means.
'cause sweet beginnings pass. they never last.

But we're all grown, all grown, all grown now.
Yes, we're all grown, all grown, all grown now.
And it doesn't really matter how the both of us arrived.
It's just a miracle that we survived.


All throughout the early years as we lived our life and made mistakes and tried each other's sanity.
You see, in spite of all our fears we both knew that this was meant to be.
It may have been naïve, but we believed.

In times of anger our love hid, but never fled and so we learned that love means living with a broken heart.
And though there were times we almost did, somehow we have never come apart.
Our souls have both been scarred, the road was hard.

And we're all grown, all grown, all grown now...

And so it's been throughout our life that when each has failed the other finds the strength to mend the broken ties.
Because a husband and a wife must both know how to read between the lies.
To stay may seem a curse. to leave is worse.


Now as we put the kids to bed and turn out the light you know I can't help wondering where the time has gone.
And as they say their sweet goodnights and beg for one last bedtime song,
I think how blessed we are, to come so far.

And we're all grown, all grown, all grown now...

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
In the summer of 1977, Dean Friedman marked his entry into US pop consciousness with the enormous success (his only American hit, it peaked at #26) of his infectious hit single Ariel, a quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song about a free spirited, music loving, vegetarian Jewish girl in a peasant blouse who lived, as the lyric goes, "...way on the other side of the Hudson."

A year later, Friedman struck a chord in the UK, this time with a magical duet (performed with singer Denise Marsa) entitled Lucky Stars. Lucky Stars zoomed to #3 in the UK singles charts going instantly gold.

The now classic single Lucky Stars paved the way for a slew of hits off of Friedman's humorously titled album "Well, Well" Said the Rocking Chair", including familiar tracks such as Lydia and Rocking Chair as well as singles from his first album, Woman of Mine and Ariel.

Dean Friedman holds the honor of having one of his songs banned by the BBC. The song goes "I am in love with a McDonalds girl." Because the song had the name of a business in it, the BBC wouldn't play it.

Dean wrote the music for the UK TV series "Boon" and is also known in his local area as a children's entertainer with such songs as "I'm Somebody Too", "Brush Your Teeth" and "Never, Never Play With Matches". In addition, he has released a collection of "Silly Hebrew School songs for silly Jewish kids covering Jewish holidays".

Now in his 50s, Dean still writes, records and tours.
