This girl walked in dreams playing in a world of her own
This girl was a child existing in a playground of stone
Then one night her world was changed
Her life and dreams were rearranged
And she would never be the same again
This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to live
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning how to live
This girl tasted love as tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear a teardrop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right
And on that sweet and velvet night
A child had died, a woman had been born
This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to live
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning how to live
Let me tell you right now
This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to live
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning how to live
This girl was a child existing in a playground of stone
Then one night her world was changed
Her life and dreams were rearranged
And she would never be the same again
This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to live
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning how to live
This girl tasted love as tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear a teardrop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right
And on that sweet and velvet night
A child had died, a woman had been born
This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to live
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning how to live
Let me tell you right now
This girl is a woman now
She's learned how to live
This girl is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning how to live
