Did you ever see a girl grow up before your eyes
Her girlish smile they turned to woman's sighs
And denim they turned to chiffon and lace
To adorn the beauty of a woman's face
Well time goes by so very fast
(Time goes by so very fast)
And you know your younger years won't last
(Younger years, they won't last)
So take these childhood dreams as they come
and learn to live each day one by one
Oh, she could have been that skinny girl who lived next door.
The one you played with a thousand times before
Well, you'd see her growing up before your eyes
And as time comes to past you'll soon realize
That time goes by so very fast
(Time goes by so very fast)
And you know your younger years won't last
(Younger years, they won't last)
So take these childhood dreams as they come
and learn to live each day one by one
learn to live each day one by one
