Oh once upon a lovely time
A mountain was a hill to climb
A river was a tiny stream
Where I would sit beside and dream

Oh, the girl that I loved so
It made me grow, and grow, and grow,
and grow, and grow, and grow
Until I became the biggest man in the world

(He was a big man, ooo,
what a great big man he was,
he was a big man, what a great big man
he was, he was)

Do you know, do you know
This morning to a lonely guy
That here is a mountain oh so high
That little stream is a river wide
I can't see on the other side

The girl I love and still adore
She doesn't love me anymore, anymore, anymore
And the biggest man alive is back
Lord, back to normal size, oh

You made me a big man when I was in your arms
You made me a big man when we were hand in hand
