I'm Not a Girl Anymore

I’m not a girl anymore
I’m a woman now
And it’s time to be puttin'
On the ways of a woman
Never look for the times
That I lived for before
I’m not a girl anymore
I’m a woman
All of the friends of my youth
They have grown up now
And each one has gone to the corner
To get his own
I’m not brave
No, I don’t have the answer to sorrow
But I know the only place you can go
Is tomorrow
Now let the past go
The days warm and golden
Laughter to the water
And footprints to the sand
Take this morning
See how it glitters
And watch while new days born in your hand
And say goodbye to the girl
She is gone forever
And please try to care
For the new person as much as ever
Come on and wake up
Come on and look
Come on and open the door
Find a woman
A woman never a girl anymore
