Now that youth is gone

Verse

Her petals fade, begin to fall.

She shows the signs of age.

Her smiling face begin to frown

Now time has turned the page.

Pre chorus

She picks up a brush, a dab of paint

The pallet comes alive.

She wakes up a girl she used to know.

Welcomes a new sunrise.

Chorus

She mourns the loss of beauty.

Knows she must move on.

She yearns for more from living

Now that youth is gone.

Verse

Yes a voice speaks softly to her

And says you’ll be ok.

It reminds her she has talents

That she’s yet displayed.

Pre chorus

She picks up a pen begins to write

A story comes alive.

She finds a new way for her to shine.

Reveals a new surprise.

Chorus

She mourns the loss of beauty.

Knows she must move on.

She yearns for more from living

Now that youth is gone.

Bridge

You better have more than beauty.

You better have wit and charm.

You better know that it’s fleeting

You better know who you are.
