about

Used to know a girl who featured on a kids Saturday morning show. She was beautiful but wary of getting old and not sure what to do when the show ended. Don't know what happened to her. I am sure she will have found another way forward and is still beautiful, though times change.

Words, music, vocals, instruments by me - hope you like it

lyrics

She's getting by on being beautiful
She' setting by on being young
She's getting by on being beautiful
She' setting by on being young
But one day it will stop, yes
But one day it will stop, but when and how

Her fast track
It was all, grace and favour
But she weren't, cheap tat
She had it made

But eyes drift
Attention waivers
Smiles crack
And hope fades

Still getting by on being beautiful
Getting by on being young
She's getting by on being beautiful
She' getting by on being young
But one day it will stop, yes
But one day it will stop, but when and how

Yes spring 's gone
Summer's ending
Autumn's here
And hearts jade

Now she' s not making shapes
On that fashion runway
No more kitten heels to, stay on trend
She designs her own, bespoke wonder
She's haute couture, she' got it made

Sometimes things work out
Somehow things work out
Some way things work out
Though times change

There's no more teetering on a kitten heel
She' s got a - trickle-up trend
She's frow at the show
She' lust have, lust have
