[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You're my girl (my girl) and you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl (my girl) I'll be letting you go someday
[Chorus]
Please don't tell me that you're leaving me just yet
'Cause I know I got to let you go (Let you go)
Please don't tell me that you're saying goodbye (Say goodbye)
[Verse 2]
Well I lit a candle on the Fourth of July
But it didn't bring you back to me
You went heading into summer on a natural high
With the world at your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your time (Your time) and you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
It's your time (Your time) and I'll be letting you go someday
[Chorus]
Please don't tell me that you're leaving me just yet
'Cause I know I got to let you go
Please don't tell me that you're saying goodbye (Say goodbye)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You're my girl (my girl) and you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl (my girl) I'll be letting you go someday
[Chorus]
Please don't tell me that you're leaving me quite yet
'Cause I know I got to let you go (Let you go)
Please don't tell me that you're saying goodbye (Say goodbye)
[Outro]
(You're my girl)
Please don't tell me that you're saying goodbye
(You're my girl)
(You're my girl)
