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      Oh, and learn to live each day one by one
