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.
