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
