The Girl Turned Woman


See, she's the girl from yesterday
Feels like it was just the other day
When we saw her wait for the dawn
Of the dream that was life.

Loved, she was loved with no end to it
Arms wide open she'd take all of it
Until you see the
Laughter in her heart
Sparkle in her eyes

Free, she was given all the freedom
To run away into the sunshine
And dance away in the rain

A young she, her eyes on the horizon
A starry sky she envisioned
Now she waits for the dawn,
The rising sun, into the golden light
She slips away

This girl turned a woman
This girl turned a woman today
Now just look at her
Those years of wonder
Are left behind
Now that little girl turned a woman
And she's so beautiful

Unafraid, she took the family in her stride
When he was away on the war side
He knew he could count on her
His little family pride

With every fall, she was the rising tide
Moving all her troubles aside
The brightest one, always on course
To reach where she wants

Fly away, she flew to a many distance place
Experience a different space
How she's traveled this far
and on to the skies
She spreads her wings

This girl turned a woman
This girl turned a woman today
Now just look at her
Those years of wonder
Are left behind
Now that little girl turned a woman
And she's so beautiful

She's the one who lights up your face
Her smile ease out the pain
She brings the winds of change
She's the colorful rain

She's the one with no hidden reason
She's the freedom of conviction
She has a life's adventure waiting
And she, takes the plunge today

For this girl, this girl turned a woman
This girl, this girl turned a woman today
Now just look at her
Those years of wonder
Are left behind
Now that little girl turned a woman
And she's so beautiful
