 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
