Lyrics

Well I took you for a walk
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
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
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
Please don't tell me that
You're sayin' goodbye
Well I lit a candle
On the fourth of july
But it didn't bring you back to me
You went headin' into summer
On a natural high
With the world at your feet
It's your time
And you're showin' me now
Just how grown up you are
It's 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
Please don't tell me that
You're sayin' goodbye
You're my girl
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
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
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
