She left on a Sunday afternoon. It is the only way for everyone concerned She said. And I could only ask her why But she just smiled and told me One day I would learn. Don't you worry This will all make sense tomorrow. Don't be sorry That everything we shared will fade away. There's so much more to see in each new day. They'd never understand I'm not an ordinary girl. She took nothing but her clothes. Taking more would just remind her of her past She said. I thought I'd never laugh again On the day I said goodbye to my best friend. Don't you worry This will all make sense tomorrow. . . . Don't you worry This will all make sense tomorrow. Don't be sorry That everything we shared will fade away. There's so much more to see in each new day. And now I understand She's just an ordinary girl. She's just an ordinary girl.
