Did you ever see a girl grow up before your eyes

A G A G

And denim has turned to chiffon and lace

A G A A7

To adorn the beauty of a woman's face

(time goes by so very fast)

D C#m B A

And you know your younger years won't last

So take these childhood dreams as they come

Oh, and learn to live each day one by one

[repeat intro, 2X]

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
