The Girl I Was
© Sheryl Ann Cohen
Verse 1
I don’t want to go
Don’t want to stay
I’d do anything if I could find my way
I am searching for a place I used to know
It slipped away, long ago.
Verse 2
Stranger on the road who turns to say
"You are not the only one to pass this way".
“There are truths that you will find in your own time,
Be on your way, don’t delay”
Chorus
If you see, see that girl I was today
Let her go, walk away . . .
Verse 3
I don’t want to go
Don’t want to stay
I’d do anything if I could find my way
Anything I left behind that’s meant to stay
Will come again, another day.
Chorus
If you see, see that girl I was today
Let her go, walk away . . .
