Lyrics:
CSixteen seems so young.
Am7seems so far away.
FBut shes more
beautiful with Gevery passing day.
C- Am7- F- G  
CShut your eyes
and think back E7to the tEime.
AmTaking your first steps
SpFeaking the first words of your life.
CThen you went to school
and learned abE7out this wEorld.
AmThose years went by so fast but slowly,
Fwhispers in her ear so softly.
CDays go by slowly.
AmSlowly drifting down
FSixteen, shes still growing.
BGeauty like the color of the leaves
CChanging with the seasons
AmSlowly passing by
FBeautiful colors
AGll wrapped up inside her mind.
C- E7- E- Am- F  
CShut your eyes and think
E7  E(break)
back to junior high.
AmYou're making friends and finding yourself
through lFove, fighting, drama and pain
CBoys and girls all wrE7apped up in Elove
Its tAmime to move on to your hFigh school days, and he said
CDays go by slowly.
AmSlowly drifting down
FSixteen, shes still growing.
BGeauty like the color of the leaves
CChanging with the seasons
AmSlowly passing by
FBeautiful colors
G   E7- E  
All wrapped up inside her mind.
