Well I took you for a walk up on the forest floor, Cause I wanted to share some things. But it sure looked to me like you ve been there before, It was such a natural thing. You re my girl, (My girl) And you re showing me now, Just how grown up you are. You re my girl, (My girl) And I ll be lettin you go someday. Please don t tell me that you re leavin me just yet, Cause I know I gotta let you go. (Let you go) Please don t tell me that you re sayin goodbye. (Say good bye) Well I lit a candle on the Fourth of July, But it didn t bring you home to me. You went headin into summer on a natural high, With the world at your feet. It s your time, (Your time) And you re showin me now, Just how grown up you are. It s your time, (Your time) And I ll be lettin you go someday. Please don t tell me that you re leavin me just yet, Cause I know I gotta let you go. (Let you go) Please don t tell me that you re sayin goodbye. (Say goodbye) We went lookin for faith on the forest floor, And it showed up everywhere, In the sun and the water and the falling leaves, The falling leaves of time. You re my girl, (My girl) And you re showing me now, Just how grown up you are. You re my girl, (My girl) And I ll be lettin you go someday. Please don t tell me that you re leavin me quite yet, Cause I know I gotta let you go. Please don t tell me that you re sayin goodbye.
