You're My Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.
