You Can Let Go

Wind blowin' on my face, sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike

A 5 year old's first taste of what freedom's really like

He was runnin' right beside me, his hand holdin' on the seat

I took a deep breath and hollered as I headed for the street

You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go

Oh, I think I'm ready to do this on my own

It's still a little bit scary but I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy, you can let go

I was standin' at the altar between the two loves of my life

To one I've been a daughter, to one I soon would be a wife

When the preacher asked who gives this woman?

Daddy's eyes filled up with tears, he kept holdin' tightly to my arm

Till I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go

Oh, I think I'm ready to do this on my own

It's still a little bit scary but I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy, you can let go

It was killin' me to see the strongest man I ever knew

Wastin' away to nothin' in a hospital room

You know he's only hangin' on for you, that's what the night nurse said

My voice and heart were breakin' as I crawled up in his bed

And said

You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go

Your little girl is ready to do this on my own

It's gonna a little bit scary but I want you to know

I'll be okay now, Daddy, you can let go

You can let go
