daddy you can let go now
wind blowing on my face
sidewalk flying beneath my bike
a five years olds first taste
of what freedom’s like
he was running rigth beside
his hand holding on the seat
i took a deep and hollered
as i headed for the street
you can let go now daddy
you can let go now
oh i think im 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 standing at 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 eyes filled up with tears
he kept holding tightly to my arm
til i whispered in his ear
you can let go now daddy
you can let you
oh i think i’m ready to do this on my own
i still feels a little bit scary
but i want you to now
i’ll be okay n0w daddy
you can let go
it was killing me
to see the strongest man i ever knew
wasting away to nothing in that hospital room
you know he’s only hanging on for you
that’s what the night nurse said
my voice and heart were breaking
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
