Growing Up (Part One) Lyrics by Michael Cantwell

Merrily We Roll Along (The Leicester Haymarket Theatre Production)

[FRANK]
Thanks, old friends...
Keep reminding me...
Frank's old friends
Always seem to come through
Frank will, too...
So, old friends
Now it's time to start growing up
Taking charge
Seeing things as they are
Facing facts
Not escaping them
Still with dreams
Just reshaping them
Growing up...
Charley is a hothead
Charley won't budge
Charley is a friend
Charley is a screamer
Charley won't bend
Charley's in your corner
Mary is a dreamer
Mary's a friend
Mary is a nudge
Mary is a purist
Charley's a judge
Charley is a dropout
Everything's a "copout"
Why is it old friends
Don't want old friends to change?
Every road has a turning
That's the way you keep learning
So, old friends
Don't you see we can have it all
Moving on
Getting out of the past?
Solving dreams
Not just trusting them
Taking dreams
Readjusting them
Growing up
Growing up...
Trying things
Being flexible
Bending with the road
Adding dreams
When the others don't last
Growing up
Understanding that growing never ends
Like old dreams—
Some old dreams—
Like old friends
