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.
