Just Magic; Original Song

It was the first day of Kindergarten
I don't recall it but my mother says
I wouldn't stop cryin,' no matter what she said
I was too young to know
She’d be back for me at the end of the day

I spent my first years playing outside
Through the sun, rain, cool, hot, wet, and dry
I'd walk home from school each day
And Ashley would be waiting for me at my front door
Never had to think, I just knew what to say
There was no reason not to trust her,
Together we’d escape the monster ‘til the end
Who needs boys when you’ve got a princess for a best friend?

And sometimes I miss her face
And the way it was
We didn't know it any other way
Everything was perfect
Life was just magic
But nothing we said could stop the change
It is inevitable

We'd climb my tree and play with hula hoops
Or sit outside laughing at the things we'd do
We took turns playing dress-up
Pretending we were on the hunt for fairytale love
Then one day we tired of our ways
Scratched out the rules and played a different game
Started checking out all the cute boys
Realized talking might not chase them away
New things start to make sense, but
Later you find out you miss what you had

And sometimes I miss her face
And the way it was
We didn't know it any other way
Everything was perfect
Life was just magic
But nothing we said could stop the change
It is inevitable

And then it was happening
All of a sudden, in a flash
We were half-way through 8th grade
And we had seen life could break
And mend itself later, we'd end up okay
But time still made us scared
Then she was gone, moved far away
We couldn't stop crying that day
It’s hard to find a reason
When the old has to move along and drift away

And sometimes I miss her face
And the way it was
We didn't know it any other way
Everything was perfect
Life was just magic
But nothing we said could stop the change
It is inevitable
