Did you ever see a girl grow up before your eyes Her girlish smile has turned to woman's sighs And denim has turned to chiffon and lace To adorn the beauty of a woman's face
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 Oh, and learn to live each day one by one
Oh, she could have been like any girl who lived next door Or the one you played with a thousand times before Well, you'd see her growing up before your eyes And as time goes 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 Oh, and learn to live each day one by one
