I see you run
I see you rush to grow up
But I will try
To slow you down
And remind you that when you're old
Time flies by
I see your heart
Keep it soft
Don't give it up, except to God
I see your soul, how it feels old
And wiser than your folks before you
You're young and you're beautiful
To be young is so beautiful
You're young and so beautiful
To be young is so beautiful
The world out there is full of wolves
Cheap Romeos and slimy crooks
They'll snatch you up
They'll swoop right in
And tell you lies
Then hit you right between the eyes
But they won't know
That you won't buy
What they're selling you
Because you'll know the truth
You're young and you're beautiful
To be young is so beautiful
You're young and so beautiful
To be young is so beautiful
It's hard and it's hurts
But it's fun all your firsts
It's lonely and it burns
All the lessons you must learn
It's hard and it's hurts
But it's fun all your firsts
It's lonely and it burns
All the lessons you must learn
But you'll grow up and you'll see that you stayed young so beautifully
You're young and you're beautiful
To be young is so beautiful
