Shut your eyes and think back to the time taking your first steps, speaking the first words of your life, then you went to school and learned about this world
Those years went by so fast but slowly, he whispers in her ear so softly
Days go by slowly, slowly drifting down, sixteen she's still growing, beauty like the color of the leaves, changing with the seasons, slowly passing by, beautiful colors, all wrapped up inside her mind
Shut your eyes and think back to jr high, making friends and finding yourself, love, fighting, drama, and pain
boys and girls all wrapped up in love, it's time to move on to your high school days
And he said, days go by slowly, slowly drifting down, sixteen she's still growing, beauty like the color of the leaves, changing with the seasons, slowly passing by, beautiful colors, all wrapped up inside her mind
On this day and for the rest of your life, I hope this light will guide you
and if you ever get lost back in those days, I'll travel miles to find you
and if you ever think back on this day, I hope you'll find it lovely, for I'll always say for the rest of your days
Days go by slowly, slowly drifting down, sixteen she's still growing, beauty like the color of the leaves, changing with the seasons, slowly passing by, beautiful colors, all wrapped up inside her mind
Her mind, all wrapped up inside her mind
