Neil Young - You're My Girl

Well I took you for a walk
Up on the forest floor
'Cause I wanted to share some things
But it sure looked to me
Like you've been there before
It was such a natural thing.

You're my girl
(My girl)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
(My girl)
And I'll be letting you go someday

Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me just yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
(Say good bye)

Well I lit a candle
On the Fourth of July
But it didn't bring you home to me
You went heading into summer
On a natural high
With the world at your feet

It's your time
(Your time)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
It's your time
(Your time)
And I'll be letting you go someday

Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me just yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
(Say goodbye)

We went looking for faith
On the forest floor
And it showed up everywhere
In the sun and the water
And the falling leaves
The falling leaves of time

You're my girl
(My girl)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
(My girl)
And I'll be letting you go someday

Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me quite yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
