Wind blowin' on my face
|
Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
|
A five 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 ok 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,
|
a¢æ?Who gives this woman?'
|
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
|
He kept holdin' tightly to my arm
|
a¢æ?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 still feels a little bit scary
|
But I want you to know
|
I'll be ok now, Daddy
|
You can let go
|
|
It was killin' me to see
|
The strongest man I ever knew
|
Wastin' away to nothin'
|
In that hospital room
|
a¢æ?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 be a little bit scary
|
But I want you to know
|
I'll be ok now, Daddy
|
You can let go
|
You can let go
|
