Just Like That Lyrics

MOTHER:
Catch your breath and look around
There's no monster waiting by
Nothing's crumbling to the ground
Nothing's tumbling from the sky

Notice how the world keeps turning
Life goes on
A moment comes
A moment goes
And just like that
The moment's gone

Now, Ralphie, go upstairs and lie down. Randy?
Hi. Can I come in? What's the matter? Whatcha cryin' for?

RANDY:
Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie.

MOTHER:
No, he's not. I promise Daddy's not going to kill anyone.
Want some milk? You would? Oh, Randy.
You know nothing is ever as bad as it seems. It never is.

If you slip and scrape your knee
Think it's never gonna heal
In a day or two you'll see
It's just not that big a deal

And you're back to jumping
Laughing
You've moved on
The moment comes
The moment goes
And just like that
The moment's gone

So you felt like bursting
Somewhere deep
Deep inside
And it overwhelmed you
So you cracked
So you cried

But it passes in an instant
Passes by so fast
Don't forget to remember these moments
Never last

NARRATOR:
I slowly began to realize that I was not about to be destroyed.

MOTHER:
Notice how the world keeps turning
Life goes on

NARRATOR:
From then on, things were different between me and my mother.

MOTHER:
And just like that
The moment's gone
