You Can Let Go

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
 "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 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
 "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
