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
