It's like her life's over, never be the same Growing up so fast but still young
Crying hard in the arms of her Mom And tenderly, wiping her tears

He starts to pray and
Hears a voice saying
Chorus

Time to get over it, time to look back
Time to feel happy with the place that you're at Time to grow closer to someone who cares Someone who loves you with no doubt or regrets, so
