Lyrics:

Sixteen seems so young.

seems so far away.

But shes more

  beautiful with every passing day.

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,

  whispers in her ear so softly.

Days go by slowly.

Slowly drifting down

Sixteen, shes 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 junior high.

You're making friends and finding yourself

  through love, fighting, drama and pain

Boys and girls all wrapped up in love

  Its time to move on to your high school days, and he said

Days go by slowly.

Slowly drifting down

Sixteen, shes still growing.

  Beauty like the color of the leaves

Changing with the seasons

Slowly passing by

Beautiful colors

  All wrapped up inside her mind.

And 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

  Ill travel miles to find you

And if you ever think

  back on this day

  I hope you'll find it lovely.

  For I will always say.for

  the rest of your days

Days go by slowly.

Slowly drifting down

Sixteen, shes 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.
