Letting Go

Her bags are packed by the door
Daddy's little girl for 18 years
All grown up - to face the world alone

A fearless heart full of dreams
But to him, she'll always be his little girl
And he can remember when
She used to wrap her little hand around his finger
As he holds her in his arms
Didn't think it'd be this hard

Letting go
When the moment's here, it's hard to say goodbye
Letting go
To that little girl, his love for all his life
Watching as she turns away, holding on to yesterday
A moment that he wasn't ready for
It's never easy letting go

Five years on, the month of May, to the day that he's been dreading
Came too soon, there she stands, in a beautiful white dress
She's been dreaming of this day, waiting for her daddy to give her away
As the music starts to play, he whispers in her ear, she looks so beautiful
As he walks her down the aisle, kissing her cheek with a smile

Letting go
When the moment's here, it's hard to say goodbye
Letting go
To that little girl, his love for all his life
Watching as she turns away, holding on to yesterday
A moment that he wasn't ready for
It's never easy letting go

She was standing there, beside his bed when the news came in that night
As she watched him sleep, the doctor said that he didn't have much time
She stayed strong for every moment, in that chair right by his side
She never let him see him cry, 'till the end she held his hand

Letting go
When the moment's here, it's hard to say goodbye
Letting go
To the only man she's loved for all her life
For so many nights, she prayed, holding on to yesterday
A moment that she wasn't ready for
It's never easy letting go

It's never easy letting go
It's never easy letting go
Oh
