no longer a girl (Sept 10)

1.
like a leaf on a breeze
drifting gently at play
i saw ur face reappear
then watched it fade slowly away,
u & me baby
we nearly made it, almost got past half way
down b.o.b.'s long golden road
please read those words every day

chorus.
they say love is blind
so u opened ur eyes
u let me take u 2 places
2 learn what's inside
u found someone of beauty,
who's no longer a girl
thank u 4 letting me carry u
towards the heart of my world

2.
such a shame u turned back
we only made it half way
the journey gets better
but u decided to stay
2 retrace ur tracks
& return to pure white
instead of continuing 2 learn
about the beauty of life

chorus

3.
remember who u r
what in urself u saw
how u felt when i touched u
what it was like 2b adored
how happy u were
when i made ur life smile
please keep ur mind open
don't cry, run or hide

chorus

4.
face life head on
never ever shy away
act with ur heart
don't let ur head always win the day
do what u have 2
2 continue 2 shine
don't do it 4 me
but 2 make urself smile

chorus

5.
i've done all i can
can't do anymore
just u & me 4 a day
2 look forward 2, & adore
u let go of my hand
& then turned me away
was that ur head or heart talking?
shaping the rest of our days

chorus.

6.
really i'm nothing
& i don't pretend 2b
the answer 2 life,
these words r just my beliefs
but when u see me smile
what do u think that it means
maybe just happy
but then u haven't seen what i've seen
